He passed away earlier this week after a battle with cancer.\n\n\u201cMark represented, as so many Hoosiers know, northeastern Indiana in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2010. He served eight terms.\n\n\u201cBefore being elected to Congress, he spent years working as a staffer for Indiana Senator Dan Coats.\n\n\u201cAnyone who met Mark was struck by his intellect, his innate grasp of policy details, and perhaps most importantly, his passion for service, for serving Hoosiers in particular.\n\n\u201cYou see, Mark Souder loved northeast Indiana. He loved his constituents. He loved the land, its people and its unique traditions.\n\n\u201cHe was a strong advocate for Hoosier veterans, in particular, and our national parks during his service in Congress.\n\n\u201cHe was also a man of many talents and interests. Baseball was one of them. In fact, he wrote about the game\u2019s history and connections to our own state.\n\n\u201cRecently, Mark collaborated on a book about the history of television in Fort Wayne.\n\n\u201cMore personally, I always appreciated Mark\u2019s kindness and support as I began my Congressional career, and I know Mark provided similar assistance and encouragement to others.\n\n\u201cI offer my deepest condolences to the Souder family and all of Mark\u2019s friends and loved ones as they mourn his loss.\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.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/video-young-honors-former-congressman-mark-souder-on-senate-floor/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8910009637475014, "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"}
