As Maines Second District Congressman, I will continue to promote my HUBZone language in order to help create more jobs and opportunities.\nNOTE: Click HERE to learn more about how the National Defense Authorization Act would have helped our Troops and their families.", 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/president-obama-vetoes-maine-jobs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3650688342750072, "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"}
