Jill Tokuda. \u201cI was proud of the bipartisan bill we crafted in committee that addressed so many crucial Hawai\u2018i priorities that I fought for and made substantial quality-of-life improvements for service members and military families, but the amendments forced onto this bill by far-right Republicans have forced me to sadly vote against passage today. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to work on this year\u2019s NDAA with colleagues on both sides of the aisle and the Capitol to remove these poison-pill riders and protect the many positive provisions we\u2019ve secured to advance our national security and support our service members and military families.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"]], "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://tokuda.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-tokuda-votes-no-national-defense-authorization-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2031602673232555, "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"}
