Congressman Levin is a leader in Congress fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare and make sure health care is affordable for millions of Americans. On the committee, he has pushed for changes to make our tax code more fair for working families. And he\u2019s been an outspoken champion for working class people, standing up against unfair trade deals that do not put American workers first.\n\u201cI am proud to call Congressman Levin a friend and mentor, and I am looking forward to continuing to serve with him in the new Congress as we work on the important issues facing Michigan and our nation.\u201d\n###", 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": ["http://dankildee.house.gov/congressman-dan-kildee-on-congressman-levins-service-on-ways-and-means/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.545078121125698, "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"}
