Gwen Moore — Democrat Candidate for U.S. House in Wisconsin, 2026

Gwen Moore voted against the 2026 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill and subsequent stopgap funding, stating concerns about the agency's tactics and lack of accountability. She also voted against the Child Deportation Act, calling it anti-immigrant and ineffective. Congresswoman Moore supports the Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in Customs and Border Protection Custody Act, The American Dream and Promise Act, and The Farm Workforce Modernization Act, advocating for stronger health standards and a pathway to citizenship.

“Despite repeated efforts by House and Senate Democrats to push for stronger accountability provisions, this bill fails to rein in a rogue agency that is creating fear in our communities, trampling on due process, detaining U.S. citizens, and using cruel and unnecessary tactics that consistently flout the law. - Congresswoman Gwen Moore, January 22, 2026”

Congresswoman Gwen Moore voted to restore health insurance subsidies, specifically expanding the advance premium tax credit for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans for 2026 through 2028. She affirmed her belief that healthcare is a human right and explained her vote was to protect affordable healthcare for millions of Americans, viewing the ACA as a lifesaving resource.

““I believe that health care is a human right,” said Wisconsin Rep. Gwen Moore in a statement. “The ACA remains a lifesaving resource for millions, including many in our community. Today I voted to protect affordable health care for 24 million Americans. This action is long overdue.””

Gwen Moore supported a bill that rejected the President’s proposed FY 2026 budget cuts for science and environmental programs, voting for its passage. This legislation increased funding for NOAA, EPA, and NASA, including $369 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. She also supported the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides investments in environmental justice priorities and offers tax credits for clean energy initiatives, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and lower consumer energy costs.

“The Inflation Reduction Act takes historic climate action, using incentives like tax credits that make it more affordable for Americans to use clean energy in our homes, including solar panels, electric water heaters, and electric HVAC. I’m so glad that the IRA includes my proposal creating a tax credit to make home energy audits more affordable by allowing taxpayers to offset up to $150 of the cost of a home energy audit." - Gwen Moore, from her statement on the Inflation Reduction Act, gwenmoore.house.gov”

Gwen Moore voted in favor of the Right to Contraception Act, the Women’s Health Protection Act (H.R.3755), and the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act (H.R.8297). She opposed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R.26) and the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act (H.R.6359). Moore supports taxpayer funding for abortion and opposed H.R. 6918, which aimed to fund Pregnancy Resource Centers.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore voted against the 2026 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill, citing its failure to ensure accountability and implement reforms for immigration enforcement. She supports a humanitarian ceasefire and aid in Gaza, while also opposing additional settlements in the West Bank. Moore, endorsed by J Street PAC, also supports aid to Ukraine and strengthening Indo-Pacific alliances.

“Passage of this legislation should not be read as undermining my support for a humanitarian ceasefire and a pathway to peace, especially as innocent civilians and children continue to suffer. America is meeting its obligation to Israel and now Israel and Netanyahu must meet their obligation to the U.S. taxpayers, President Biden, and the world community and take every step to protect innocent civilians in Gaza commit to the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza to stem the famine and suffering and stop all additional settlements in the West Bank. - Congresswoman Gwen Moore, on an aid package statement.”

Congresswoman Gwen Moore opposes the elimination of funding for TRIO programs in the FY 2026 budget, a proposal initiated by President Trump. She has led efforts against these cuts, stating that TRIO programs offer academic support, enabling college students to enter and succeed in higher education. As a co-chair of the TRIO Caucus and an alum, Moore also advocates for the immediate release of award notifications for these programs.

““TRIO serves college students who may not otherwise have academic support, helping them enter and succeed in college. It’s one of the reasons this program has found bipartisan support. I [...]” - Gwen Moore, Press Release (gwenmoore.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5734), regarding FY 2026 budget”
