Gwen Moore

Gwen Moore, born on April eighteenth, nineteen fifty-one, is a prominent American politician who has been serving as the U.S. representative for Wisconsin's fourth congressional district since two thousand five. Her tenure marks a significant milestone in the state's political landscape, as she is the first woman to hold this position and the first African American elected to Congress from Wisconsin.

Moore's district, which is primarily based in Milwaukee, was expanded to include several suburbs following the redistricting in two thousand eleven. These suburbs include Bayside, Brown Deer, Cudahy, Fox Point, Glendale, St. Francis, South Milwaukee, West Milwaukee, Shorewood, and Whitefish Bay, reflecting her commitment to representing a diverse constituency.

In two thousand sixteen, she was elected as the caucus whip of the Congressional Black Caucus for the one hundred fifteenth United States Congress, showcasing her leadership within the Democratic Party. Moore's influence and dedication to her role have made her Wisconsin's longest-serving representative, especially following the retirement of Ron Kind in two thousand twenty-three.
