Seniors have to live within their means and so should our government.\u201d\nIn a statement released by 60 Plus, Boone remarked, \u201cI\u2019m still singing at concerts, but today I\u2019m singing the praises of Todd Rokita. Seniors can depend on Todd Rokita.\u201d\u00a0 Boone, 80, and his wife of 60 years, Shirley, reside in Beverly Hills, California.\nBoone is familiar to audiences as a star of music, film and television. Boone has had 38 top-ten hits since his recording career began in the 1950s, and, according to Billboard magazine, still holds the record for the most consecutive weeks (220) on the charts by any performer.\nMartin added, Todd Rokita is more than just a committed public servant with a distinguished track record of fighting on behalf of seniors in Washington; Todd Rokita is a trusted voice for smaller, more effective and less expensive government. Todd Rokita is a tireless worker who makes decisions every day based on what's best for our children and grandchildren. Seniors have no better friend in the U.S. House of Representatives than Congressman Todd Rokita.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n-30-", 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://rokita.house.gov/press-release/todd-rokita-earns-seniors%E2%80%99-approval-protects-social-security-and-medicare"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8996170945465565, "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"}
