Representative Gwen Moore, currently serving Wisconsin's 4th District in the U.S. Congress, addressed several significant issues via her Twitter account. Moore, who has been a congressional representative since 2005, shared her concerns about decisions impacting low-income households, the U.S. economy, and social safety nets.

On April 16, 2025, Moore called attention to a policy action by RFK Jr., who eliminated an office within the Health and Human Services tasked with administering the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). "This month RFK Jr. eliminated the entire office in HHS tasked with administering LIHEAP, which is energy bill assistance for low income households," she stated. Moore urged RFK Jr. to reconsider the decision, emphasizing its impact on 244,000 Wisconsin households.

The following day, April 17, 2025, Moore commented on the state of U.S. manufacturing. She credited President Biden with initiating a resurgence through strategic investments that enhanced competitiveness. However, she criticized former President Trump's actions, stating that "Trump’s recklessness is derailing progress: raising costs, choking supply chains, and inviting retaliation that hurts workers & consumers."

Later on April 17, 2025, Moore addressed the Republican narrative surrounding social safety nets. She warned of attempts to undermine these programs by using unfounded scapegoats, particularly highlighting Medicaid as a target. She expressed, "Republicans have replaced the trope of 'welfare queens' with unemployed young men playing video games." By drawing attention to this shift in rhetoric, she argued it was a move to justify cuts to essential support systems.

Moore, born in 1951 in Racine, Wisconsin, has long been an advocate for her constituents in Milwaukee. Her educational background includes a Bachelor's degree from Marquette University, earned in 1978. Her extensive legislative experience includes past service in both the Wisconsin State Assembly and the State Senate.
