Following the Senate\u2019s action, Senator Curtis issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cI commend the Senate\u2019s action to end the shutdown that has cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars and negatively impacted the lives of millions of Americans.

It is time to reform the process and restore fiscal responsibility.\n\n\u201cI am committed to working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to create a long-term solution that prevents either party from holding the government\u2014and the American people\u2014hostage again.\u201d\n\nAs part of the Military Construction portion of the bill, Senator Curtis secured $162.6 million for key military infrastructure projects in Utah, including:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "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.curtis.senate.gov/press-releases/curtis-statement-on-senate-vote-to-fund-government-end-shutdown"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0153939947485924, "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"}
