This is the season of peace, joy, and hope\u2014a time to celebrate the blessings of the great state we get to call home. As you gather with family and loved ones, I encourage you to reflect with gratitude on the many gifts in our lives.\n\n\u201cAmong these gifts is the privilege of being born in the freest and most prosperous nation on Earth. Let us honor the sacrifices that make freedom possible\u2014especially those of the brave West Virginians in uniform who spend the holidays far from home.\n\n\u201cWe also need to thank our first responders, law enforcement officers, and medical professionals who will be giving up their time with their families to keep our communities healthy and safe.\n\n\u201cThis holiday season, make sure to cherish our neighbors and give thanks, and may we carry the warm spirit of Christmas into the New Year. I, for one, look forward to serving you and working to build a brighter future for every West Virginian.\n\n\u201cFrom my family to yours, have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/video-capito-wishes-west-virginians-a-merry-christmas-"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3131590094417334, "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"}
