Walkinshaw (VA-11) issued the following statement in response to the Trump administration\u2019s 1% pay raise for federal workers.\n\n\u201cUnder President Trump, Americans are paying more for groceries, more for housing, more for utilities, and federal workers are being told to accept a meager 1 percent pay raise. That is not just inadequate. It is insulting.\n\nFederal employees serve our country shoulder to shoulder with our service members, often under intense pressure and enduring real risk. They deserve respect, stability, and pay parity with service members, not another hit to their livelihoods during the holiday season.\n\nThis decision is shameful. Congress must step in and pass the FAIR Act to deliver a real, meaningful pay increase for every federal employee.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "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://walkinshaw.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=226"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5157116577029228, "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"}
