In February, she and the rest of the state\u2019s Congressional delegation called on the FAA to keep the Manchester Air Traffic Control Tower open overnight. The Administration ultimately complied with the request and stated it would not close the tower overnight. In 2013, the Congresswoman and 19 House colleagues successfully pushed the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to maintain control of airport exit lanes, which will save the airport approximately $225,000 annually. ###", 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/20140912033046/http://shea-porter.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/photo-and-release-shea-porter-tours-manchester-airport-control-tower"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8264790996909142, "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"}
