Rick Larsen, WA-02, issued the following statement following the news that North Korea released Merrill Newman, one of two American citizens it was detaining. The second, Lynnwood-resident Kenneth Bae, has been held in the country for more than a year.\n\u201cI share in the happiness of Mr. Newman\u2019s family over North Korea\u2019s decision to release him,\u201d Larsen said. \u201cI remain deeply disappointed that North Korea is continuing to detain Kenneth Bae after more than a year.\n\u201cI join the State Department in renewing our call for North Korea to grant a pardon and special amnesty for Kenneth and to immediately release him so he can come home to his family. I pledge my continuing support to Kenneth\u2019s family and will continue working with them and the State Department to ensure his safe return home.\u201d", 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://larsen.house.gov/press-release/larsen-reiterates-call-kenneth-bae%E2%80%99s-release-north-korea"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.411583973094821, "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"}
