Schwartz (PA-13) released the following statement today regarding the passing of Nelson Mandela, who became the first freely-elected president of South Africa after enduring 27 years in prison for fighting apartheid.\n\u201cNelson Mandela dedicated his extraordinary life to the abolition of apartheid and the building of reconciliation among the people of South Africa. Through his steadfast integrity, unyielding will and humility, he was a beacon to all who struggle against racism, tyranny and oppression in support of freedom, equality and dignity. President Mandela changed his country and the world, and his iconic example and life-long efforts will not be forgotten. My condolences go to his family and to the people of South Africa.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 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/20140222212651/http://schwartz.house.gov/press-release/schwartz-statement-passing-nelson-mandela"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0093217715620995, "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"}
