STEM-related jobs are among Maines fastest-growing and highest-paying. By developing these in-demand skills today, our Second District students will be better prepared for success in the workforce tomorrow and our Great State will be more competitive globally in attracting and retaining innovative industries that create good jobs and grow our economy.\n\nCongressman Poliquin will personally recognize the winning students or student teams who must submit their original apps by the Jan. 15 deadline. Winners will also have their apps featured on a display in the U.S. Capitol Building as well as on the Congressional App Challenge website.\n\nFor more information about the Congressional App Challenge or to enter, visit https://www.congressionalappchallenge.us/participating-districts/ and select ME-02 or contact Congressman Poliquins offices in Lewiston (784-0768), Bangor (942-0583) or Presque Isle (764-1968).", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://poliquin.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-poliquin-invites-students-enter-congressional-app-challenge"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4970789197832346, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
