The nomination of Judge White now goes to the full Senate for consideration.\n\n\u201cWith today\u2019s vote, the Senate moved one step closer to placing my friend Judge Wade White on the TVA Board of Directors and finally adding a Kentuckian\u2019s voice to an organization with significant influence over Kentuckians\u2019 lives,\" said Senator McConnell. \"The 215,000 Kentucky households that rely on TVA for their everyday power needs deserve a representative who understands the importance of affordable, reliable power. As proven by his successful tenure as Lyon County Judge-Executive, Wade is just that leader. I look forward to the full Senate approving this highly qualified nominee and adding a commonsense, Kentucky perspective to the TVA Board.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:29:59Z"]], "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.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=E388FA07-2E5A-428D-8A02-1DC0EEF9FE33"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8217811118811369, "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"}
