Gwen Moore

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise today in support of H.R. 3593, the Department of Energy Science for the Future Act. As a newly minted member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I was so proud to see my colleagues…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to me and for inviting me. Madam Speaker, I rise tonight to join my CBC colleagues in highlighting the importance of honoring the holiday and continuing the legacy of Juneteenth Day, the first one…

Our legislation needs to reflect those values. We can't just trust that people are going to give people the opportunity. We've got to be really intentional about it.

Lake Michigan is my favorite thing that's a constituent of mine, not a human being is Lake Michigan.

I am so excited about all of our witnesses here today. And of course it's just like a big, huge classroom where you learn so much.

There is no way to have equity in any of these packages without looking at the disadvantage, quite frankly, that women have with regard to childcare.

Statement from Congresswoman Gwen Moore dated April 28, 2021.

I sleep well knowing that those legacy issues are in wonderful hands with not only great Democratic champions, but also bipartisan partners to work with.

I have a graduate degree from the finest financial markets program in the country, the University of Maxine Waters and Barney Frank.

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for yielding, and I want to thank the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus for pulling this all together. I am Gwen Moore from the great State of Wisconsin, and I was first elected in 2005. I was…

My hope is that in all discussion regarding the types of projects funded, the way that funding is allocated, and the people and workers involved in the construction of those projects, you hold equity as a guiding principle.

I really appreciate the opportunity to testify today about our Nation's infrastructure priorities and the upcoming reauthorization of our highway and transit programs.

We need a minimum wage increase. We have got to stop pretending that we can just live off of nothing.

I think it is time that we begin to discuss a new deal between the federal government and its people as distinct from a contract on America that exacerbates inequities.

In 2018 the CTC pulled 4.3 million Americans, including 2.3 million children, out of poverty.

The earned income tax credit and the child tax credit provisions, among others in the Rescue Plan, will do more to reduce child poverty in our country than all the empty rhetoric for the last 25 years about personal responsibility.

We cannot only end welfare as we know it, but we can end the misery inflicted by poverty on our communities going forward.

Today, I am pleased to rise in support of the American Dream and Promise Act (H.R. 6) to provide permanent protections for Dreamers and those currently protected by Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED)…

I am pleased to rise today in strong support of the CAPTA reauthorization measure that is before the House today. I want to thank Chairman Scott and Ranking Member Foxx for their leadership and for the bipartisan work on this legislation…

I have really, really enjoyed listening to this panel of experts.

The most common age among white people is 58, and that's double what the common age is for Black people, which is 27.

The President radicalized American citizens. As his Vice President fled from a lynch mob and the Speaker cowered and while people died, he watched with glee. That is why, even though it is only 7 days before the end of his term, we have…
