Today, Secretary Johnson recognized and awarded over three hundred outstanding employees based on references from their colleagues across the agency. These men and women are courageous, dedicated, and exemplary employees that embody the Department\u2019s core mission and attest to the important work being done by thousands of individuals across the Department every day. I congratulate the recipients of these prestigious awards, and I thank each and every one of them for their tireless service to our country.\u201d \r\nFor more information on the DHS Secretary Awards and the 2014 recipients, please visit: http://www.dhs.gov/2014-awards.", 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://www.carper.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=10df49ed-9f9f-4f89-a874-e1633282f599"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.010296167805791, "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"}
