This package includes $100 billion in critical disaster relief funding for the Southeast, including North Carolina. Congresswoman Ross has been pushing for this funding since Western North Carolina was devastated by Hurricane Helene.\n\nClick here to download Congresswoman Ross\u2019 floor speech from November calling for disaster relief funding\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s shameful that House Republicans pushed us to the brink of a government shutdown and played politics with desperately needed disaster aid,\u201d said Congresswoman Ross. \u201cThis legislation is far from perfect, and many crucial, bipartisan provisions that I support were removed from the final bill. However, Western North Carolina has been waiting for federal assistance to rebuild after the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, and this package will deliver the aid that families, small businesses, childcare centers, seniors, and so many more need. The road to recovery will be long, but this package is a crucial first step. I urge my Senate colleagues to pass this legislation immediately \u2013 Western North Carolina cannot afford to wait.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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://ross.house.gov/2024/12/congresswoman-ross-votes-to-pass-the-continuing-resolution-to-support-hurricane-recovery-in-nc"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6377119570970535, "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"}
