She is well qualified and shares my view that American taxpayer dollars going to the UN cannot be used to undermine our country and our allies.\n\n\u201cAs to the anti-Israel bias at the UN, that practice in the future will not be rewarded.\n\n\u201cIt is long past time to take an in-depth look at U.S. support of the UN from top to bottom.\n\n\u201cElise Stefanik will be a great partner and advocate in that endeavor. Business as usual regarding the U.S. and UN is about to change. Elise will be a strong supporter of President Trump\u2019s agenda to bring about change.\u201d", 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.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=318174E5-462F-437F-ABE9-EB43B97899B0"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.071646809577942, "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"}
