Congresswoman Shea-Porter was a cosponsor of this bipartisan legislation to ensure that federal employees, furloughed as a result of the government shutdown, receive back pay for the duration the shutdown:\n\u201cI was proud to cosponsor this legislation to ensure workers are not unfairly punished due to Washington gridlock, and I\u2019m glad the House passed it,\u201d Shea-Porter said. \u201cBut this bill does not address the urgent need for Congress to do its job and reopen the full federal government. It\u2019s time to put aside partisan politics and allow a vote on a clean funding bill that has bipartisan support and would put people back to work.\u201d\nAdditional information on the Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act is available here.\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/20140912212519/http://shea-porter.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/shea-porter-statement-on-passage-of-the-federal-employee-retroactive-pay"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.694585032761097, "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"}
