This package garnered bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress and included $300 million to refill the U.S. Department of Commerce\u2019s fishery disaster assistance accounts, which Senator Murkowski was instrumental in securing.\n\n\u201cThere is never, ever a time when a government shutdown is a good thing for Americans or Alaskans. I\u2019m relieved that cooler heads prevailed and a needless shutdown was avoided,\u201d said Senator Murkowski. \u201cAdditionally, I was able to secure several critical provisions that will help Alaskans, including a desperately needed $300 million that will refill our fisheries disaster account, ensuring that our hardworking fishermen will have the support they need to get back on the water.\u201d\n\n###", 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.murkowski.senate.gov/press/release/murkowski-never-ever-a-time-when-a-government-shutdown-is-a-good-thing-for-americans-or-alaskans"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6977219600230455, "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"}
