U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore says she’s pushing for $25 million more in federal funds to cover security costs ahead of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next summer.
That includes a personal plea to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which would bring the total to $75 million in federal funds.
“He assured me the appropriations process was not over, so I see that as hopeful because I did admonish him with the fact that not only my letter, but the entire delegation including the chairman of the House Administration Committee Bryan Steil approved it, Sen. Johnson, the entire delegation signed onto this request,” Moore told WISN’s “UpFront,” produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com.
Moore, a Dem who represents Milwaukee, says she’ll be watching the Aug. 23 GOP primary debate and committed to seeking reelection herself in 2024.
“I am running for reelection,” she said. “No questions asked.”
