That's why I supported a billthat will fullyrepeal the Windfall Elimination Provision, which is responsible for the reduction,and allow Maine seniors to finally receive the benefits they have worked hard for and earned.\nSocial Security is an important program.\nAs Maines 2nd District Representative, I will continue to support bills that will help strengthen, preserve and protect Social Security for our seniors and future generations.\nNOTE:According to a recent AARP poll,57 percent of people are unsure about the future of Social Security.", 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/happy-birthday-social-security"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6236458905041218, "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"}
