House Majority Leader-elect Scalise emphasized that Republicans are ready to implement their \u2018Commitment to America\u2019 agenda, which will reverse Democrats\u2019 self-made crises.\n\nImage\n\nClick here or on the image above to view Majority Leader-elect Scalise\u2019s remarks.\n\nMajority Leader-elect Scalise\u2019s remarks:\n\n\u201cPeople all across America went to the polls last week to elect a Republican House majority that will fight for them. And if you look everywhere from Portland, Oregon, down to South Florida, we flipped seats from Democrat to Republican, with candidates that were running on the \u2018Commitment to America.\u2019 [Running] on an agenda that\u2019s focused on lowering inflation, reducing energy costs, securing America\u2019s border, combating crime where we can give police the tools they need to keep our community safe and return safely to their families, [and] get parents more involved in their kids\u2019 education.\n\n\u201cAs the Majority Leader, I really look forward to bringing those bills to the floor through a committee process that\u2019s open again. We\u2019re going to make Congress work again. Not only any proxy voting where people can show up to vote, but where the committees meet in person again to debate things that are important to the hardworking families who are struggling under this Biden agenda.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:24:37Z"]], "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://scalise.house.gov/press-releases/Scalise%3A-Republicans-Are-Ready-to-Work-For-the-American-People"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.083467949181795, "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"}
