My friend Miguel Cardona is everything you would want in\r\na Secretary of Education. He's a great teacher, a fighter for educational\r\nequity, and a consensus builder. These values will be essential to solving the\r\nmyriad of challenges facing him when he gets to Washington, including helping\r\nour schools operate safely as we navigate out of the pandemic, addressing the\r\ninequitiesthat have been exacerbated during the pandemic,and\r\nundoing Betsy DeVos's disastrous attacks on public education. But, if\r\nthere's anyone who can rise to the occasion, it's\r\nMiguel. I'm looking forward to welcoming him to Washington ahead of his\r\nconfirmation, said Murphy. ###", 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/press-releases/murphy-statement-on-connecticut-education-commissioner-miguel-cardona-announced-as-president-elect-bidens-choice-for-secretary-of-education"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9033139795064926, "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"}
