Following the vote, Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued the statement below:\n\n\u201cCongratulations to each nominee. Mr. McKernan\u2019s extensive qualifications will help him restore sound and balanced regulation to our financial system, and he is well prepared to serve as Under Secretary for Domestic Finance. Mr. Adams strongly believes that federal policy should strengthen parents\u2019 ability to make the best decisions for their children, and I am confident in his ability to lead the array of programs under the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. I look forward to their confirmations by the full Senate and working with them in these roles.\u201d\n\nExecutive session information can be found here.\n\nRead Chairman Crapo\u2019s full statement at the nomination hearing here, and his statement at the executive session here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "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.crapo.senate.gov/media/newsreleases/finance-committee-advances-treasury-hhs-nominations"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8431696332991123, "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"}
