I also pushed to get HUBZone language added to the National Defense Authorization Act as it would help attract and create more jobs in Maine  unfortunately President Obama vetoed this bipartisan bill last week.\nThats why I voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, with much needed reforms, so we can continue to attract and secure jobs. These reforms include establishing an Office of Ethics, an increase in loss reserves so that taxpayers are less on the hook, an independent audit of the Banks portfolio and more.\nHowever, there is much more work to be done in reforming the culture at the Bank. With the full weight of my office, I will continue to push my reforms that will lay the foundation for a growing American economy and good-paying jobs while rooting out fraud, corruption, and insider dealings in Washington.\nNOTE: Click HERE to read more about Congressman Poliquins reforms for the Export-Import Bank.", 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/poliquin-votes-protect-future-maine-jobs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.75145298615098, "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"}
