He added time to expiring parking meters in Bridgeport. He also brought coffee for security guards, paid for someone\u2019s laundry bill in Hartford and gave pizza to firefighters.\r\nFox CT caught up with Murphy in Waterbury, where he filled up a man\u2019s gas tank and said hello to veterans at the local VFW Post 201.\r\nHe ended the day in Newtown completing his 26th act of kindness\u2013lighting a candle at church and whispering a prayer.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/in-the-news/sen-chris-murphys-26-acts-of-kindness"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.519310986623168, "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"}
