I\u2019m proud to join this effort to strengthen our commitment to the foundation that early childhood education provides our children. This is an important investment in a stronger future.\u201d\n--- Senator Tammy Baldwin\n\nFor more information about the Strong Start for America\u2019s Children Act, see a summary of the bill here; see a fact sheet on the bill here; see a list of national organizations supporting the bill here.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://web.archive.org/web/20140221062347/http://www.baldwin.senate.gov/blog/expanding-access-to-high-quality-early-learning-programs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8948568031191826, "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"}
