Hillary Scholten (MI-03) issued the below statement on House Republicans\u2019 dysfunction, which has caused the House of Representatives to go without a Speaker for 10 days and paused legislative action:\n\n\u201cI\u2019m from the heart of conservative West Michigan. The Republican Party I came to know growing up was about fiscal and personal responsibility \u2013 without drama and against wasteful spending. Nothing could be further from the truth of today\u2019s Republican Party, especially in the House of Representatives.\n\nWhile they wage a civil war against one another, they are creating so much waste \u2013 wasting time, wasting resources, wasting money, and wasting opportunities. And for what? Petty grievances and emotional temper tantrums to further their own selfish agendas. Taxpayers, who sent us to Washington to get things done, deserve so much better than this.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "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://scholten.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-scholten-statement-house-republican-dysfunction"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7615259382873774, "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"}
