Gwen Moore Research Paper

Cast Your Votes The votes were in, and on 2004, Gwen Moore was the first African-American woman to be elected a representative in Wisconsin. This was a marvelous accomplishment for Gwen to achieve in 2004. Many times, people admire Gwen for doing this. She is a very important woman in Wisconsin history for many more reasons, however. For this, believe she should be recognized more than she currently is. One reason she's important is because, she is breaking barriers for women in Wisconsin. Moore also has an important job and government role, like being a representative and previous senator of Wisconsin. Another reason that she's important, is because she wants to help others, and this is shown with a group naming her volunteer of the decade. These are a few of the reasons that I believe that congresswoman Gwen Moore, is an important Wisconsin woman. This makes Gwen a very important woman, and one that I cherish her for the work that she is doing

"Ahem" As she tries to give a voice to the voiceless. Trying to help people is something that she always tries to do. With her job expertise she would help give jobs and try to create good communities. Gwen has led many fights against things like against racial profiling, domestic abuse, and voting right violations. She served as the Democratic Co-Chair of the Congressional Woman's Caucus. In that time from 2011-2013 she became a leader on issues such as health insurance, woman's health, infant mortality, and domestic violence, along with the fact that she led trying to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. "A man works from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never over," is an adage, that I believe applies to Gwen Moore, because with all of the work that she does. Also, she always tries to help everyone that she can, and this is another reason why she should be recognized as an important woman in Wisconsin
