Deep Dive

Gwen Moore has represented Milwaukee and Wisconsin's 4th District since she took the oath of office on January 4, 2005, the first Black woman Wisconsin has sent to the House. She served in the state Assembly and then the state Senate before that, and she sits on the Ways and Means Committee. She won the Democratic primary on August 11, 2026 and is running on November 3, 2026 against the Republican Tim Rogers and Arthur Burks, an independent.

Her fullest answer on American money is the statement she published on July 15, 2026. It explains a vote for an amendment that would impose “a one-year moratorium on funding to Israel”, and it gives her reason: “a shift in tactics is now necessary because of my growing frustration with the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its conduct throughout the region”. She did not defend the amendment as written. She wished it had been drafted more narrowly and said she was pained that it would harm funding that fosters cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians. What she says the vote is for is a signal: “while Israel, like all states, has a right to defend its borders and people, their actions must remain within the bounds enshrined in international law”. She also says the timing is the point, because the vote “coincides with the looming expiration of the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding outlining U.S. aid to Israel”, the ten-year agreement that sets the size of that aid. In the same statement she described Israel as a vital American ally whose people deserve support against Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.

Two years earlier she had gone the other way on a foreign aid package, and she explained that too. On April 20, 2024 she said she voted for it because America must be steadfast and stand with our allies, and she set out what the money did, including funding for the Iron Dome defense system, replenishment of American military supplies and humanitarian aid. She attached a condition in the same statement: “our assistance comes with obligations and responsibilities, including full compliance with U.S. and international law”, and she said she would expect the administration to enforce the terms of the president's national security memorandum for every country funded in the bill, including Israel. She wrote that “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 asked for steps to protect civilians in Gaza, for the immediate delivery of aid, and for an end to new settlements in the West Bank.

On American money for Palestinians she has been specific in one place above all. When the ceasefire agreement was announced on January 15, 2025 she said more humanitarian aid must reach Palestinian civilians, and that “The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) will be indispensable to that effort, and it would be wise for the U.S. to end its funding ban, as many of our allies have done”. In August 2025 she said that in Gaza “even accessing aid has become deadly” and that “Food should never be weaponized against civilians.”

She has judged the war in her own words throughout. In July 2024 she stayed away from the Israeli prime minister's address to Congress, saying “What Israel and the Palestinians need is a new direction in this conflict, not another speech in the well of the House.” In August 2025 she called the decision to pursue a full occupation of Gaza “an egregious escalation” and asked the prime minister to reverse course. On the second anniversary of the October 7 attack she said “This war must end” and backed the framework for peace, which she described as calling for a ceasefire, the release of the remaining living hostages, more humanitarian aid and the rebuilding of Gaza.

Her campaign site says nothing on any of this. Her statements about Iran, her record on antisemitism, her earlier record going back to 2015, and what she said in the weeks after October 7, 2023 are on her research page.

How this mark works

We track key votes on sending U.S. weapons and money to the government of Israel. A check means every tracked vote they cast came down against sending more, on the side of peace and de-escalation. A question mark means a mixed record: they sided with sending up to half of the time. An X means they voted to send more weapons and money in over half of their tracked votes, even as the way those weapons and dollars were being used became more and more obvious. At exactly half, money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track, or an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons, makes it an X. Only votes actually cast are counted. Where a candidate has no recorded votes on these bills, the mark comes instead from a reviewed reading of their public record (money from the lobbying groups we track, endorsements, and their own words since January 26, 2024). There an X also covers fully backing the conduct of the war by the government of Israel without significant reservations, and a question mark also covers speaking about Israel without saying clearly where they stand on U.S. weapons and funding. A dash means No Position Found: we found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

See a dash? Ask the candidate where they stand, then send us their answer and we'll review it and update the mark. Or volunteer to help review candidates.

Voted to send weapons or funding in some, but no more than half, of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 2 of 6 tracked votes.)

Research log

The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.

Every page named below was opened and read on 2026-09-20 unless the entry says otherwise. Her congressional newsroom was read in full: 1,300 items across 130 pages of the press release listing, back to January 2010, and the whole of the in-the-news and opinion listings, with every title checked against this subject and every match opened. Her campaign site was read in full. Bands: Position (2024-01-26 onward), Reaction window (2023-10-07 to 2024-01-25), Earlier record (before 2023-10-07), Undated. Her recorded House votes and her recorded cosponsorships are shown in this card's record section and are not restated here.

U.S. military aid and weapons to the government of Israel

  • [Position, 2026-07-15] Her statement on the Massie amendment, published on her congressional site. It opens: “Today, I voted in favor of the Massie Amendment to the FY 2027 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, which would impose a one-year moratorium on funding to Israel. This vote represents a continuation of my commitment to the pursuit of peace between the Israeli and Palestinian people. It is my belief that a shift in tactics is now necessary because of my growing frustration with the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its conduct throughout the region.” On the drafting: “I wish the amendment had been more narrowly drafted so that it did not result in cuts to aid that has nothing to do with military actions or territorial expansions. I am especially pained that it would indiscriminately harm funding that fosters cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians. I hope that my vote for the Massie Amendment sends a clear signal that, while Israel, like all states, has a right to defend its borders and people, their actions must remain within the bounds enshrined in international law. U.S. aid should help create the conditions for a secure, prosperous, and peaceful future for Israelis, Palestinians, and the broader Middle East. My vote is especially well-timed to send this message, as it coincides with the looming expiration of the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding outlining U.S. aid to Israel.” On the alliance: “I continue to see Israel as a vital American ally in the Middle East and the Israeli people as deserving of support to meet the security challenges they face from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other malignant actors in the region.” And on what she asks of the Israeli government: “In order to secure a lasting peace, the government of Israel must first reassess their current military posture; fully engage as a good-faith partner for peace, including in Lebanon and Gaza; address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region; take immediate steps to end illegal settlements in the West Bank and combat rising settler violence against Palestinian civilians.” That amendment is one of the rows in this card's record section; the card characterizes it only because she explained the vote herself, and it narrates no roll call.
  • [Position, 2024-04-20] Her statement on the foreign aid package. It begins: “I voted for the foreign aid package because I believe America must be steadfast and stand with our allies.” On the Middle East portion: “Israel continues to face serious threats from Iran and Hamas, which puts both Israelis and Palestinians at risk. The entire region is now in turmoil, including recent drone and missile attacks unleashed by Iran that were repelled by U.S.-provided defensive weapons systems. The bill provides additional funding for the Iron Dome defense system, humanitarian aid, replenishment of U.S. military supplies, and to support our continued peace and security efforts in the region.” On conditions: “And I want to be clear that as it relates to funding in this bill, our assistance comes with obligations and responsibilities, including full compliance with U.S. and international law. Earlier this year, President Biden issued a national security memorandum that requires credible assurances about how our aid, including that in this bill, is being used. That memo requires regular reports to Congress on compliance, and consideration of remedial steps, such as withholding certain arms transfers, if a country is found to have violated it. I will expect that the Administration enforces the terms of that memo for all the countries funded in this bill, including Israel.” And: “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.” The missing comma in that last sentence is the page's own. The statement addresses the April 2024 package as a whole, including Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific; the Israel bill in it is one of the rows in this card's record section, and no tally is written here. The Iron Dome sentence concerns a defensive system and is kept off the fifty-word front by standing rule; it is on the deep dive and here with no prejudice.
  • [Position, 2025-10-31; a third party's account] Peace Action of Wisconsin, an anti-war group, published a blog post headed “What Good Would It Do?” Milwaukee Answers Rep. Moore on the Block the Bombs Act. It says: “At the October 18 “No Kings Day” protest in Milwaukee, Peace Action Wisconsin members met with Rep. Gwen Moore urging her to support H.R. 3565, the Block the Bombs Act. Her response - “What good would it do?”” The post describes H.R. 3565, introduced on May 21, 2025 by Rep. Delia Ramirez, as a bill that “would limit transfers of specific offensive weapons to Israel, including 2,000lb “bunker-buster” bombs and JDAM kits”, and says “Rep. Gwen Moore is notably not among” its cosponsors. The rest of the post is the group's own argument. Four words reported by the organization that was asking her for something are not a statement we can treat as hers, so nothing from this is on the card; her cosponsorship position on that bill is a row in this card's record section. The post is linked here so a reader can weigh it.
  • [Reaction window, 2023-11-02] Her statement on the House Republican Israel-only supplemental, which explains a vote that is one of the rows in this card's record section. Not on the card summary; recorded here with its date.
  • [Reaction window, 2023-10-11] A Jewish News Syndicate-style congressional roundup republished on Rep. Mike Lawler's official site lists “Gwen Moore (D-WI)” among Democrats who “had not yet signed on as of Tuesday evening” to the McCaul and Meeks resolution expressing support for Israel and condemning the attacks. Not on the card summary because of its date. It is recorded because our research reported the opposite, that she had signed on, and dated it October 13.
  • Nothing located in which she discusses the dollar figure in the United States and Israel memorandum of understanding, beyond naming its expiration, and nothing in which she speaks about the 2025 amendment to strike Israeli Cooperative Programs funding or the two 2024 Israel bills that are rows in this card's record section.

U.S. aid to Palestinians

  • [Position, 2025-01-15] Her statement on the Gaza ceasefire agreement: “Similarly, more humanitarian aid must mean Palestinian civilians are able to adequately feed and support their families, including the children who have suffered tremendously throughout this conflict. The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) will be indispensable to that effort, and it would be wise for the U.S. to end its funding ban, as many of our allies have done, to make sure that humanitarian needs are truly met.” This is the clearest thing she has said about American money for Palestinians.
  • [Position, 2025-08-08] Her statement on Gaza: “And for civilians in Gaza, even accessing aid has become deadly, as men, women, and children have been shot and killed trying to seek the already inadequate amounts of food that is available. Food should never be weaponized against civilians.”
  • [Position, 2024-04-05] Her updated statement on the war: “U.S. and other forces are now reluctantly airdropping aid because the flow of aid, which was insufficient in the first place, is still far below what is needed.” And: “And a good first step is for the U.S. to enforce the President’s new National Security Memorandum that requires U.S. aid to be used in compliance with U.S. and international law, including mandates specific to humanitarian aid and taking actions to protect civilians. It is unconscionable to make the delivery and receipt of food and aid a death sentence, especially when the humanitarian crisis is as dire as in Gaza.” The statement also quotes a USAID account of food insecurity in Gaza and the President's words about the deaths of aid workers; those are other people's words and nothing is built on them.
  • [Position, 2024-04-20] In the foreign aid package statement: “This package also supplies critical humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people who are also victims of Hamas and to other vulnerable populations at risk around the globe.”
  • [Position, 2025-10-07] In her second-anniversary statement she names “an increase of humanitarian aid, and the rebuilding of Gaza for Gazans” as elements of the framework she supports.
  • [Reaction window, 2023-11-02] The November 2023 statement sets out at length what she wanted for humanitarian funding at that date. Not on the card summary; recorded here with its date.

Characterization of the conflict

  • [Position, 2024-07-24] Her statement on not attending the Israeli prime minister's address to Congress: “I continue to stand with the people of Israel, which is why I strongly support the ongoing efforts of President Biden and his Administration to support them and innocent Palestinians by working to reach a ceasefire deal that will ensure the remaining hostages are released, end current fighting and supply more aid to address the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians, while setting up a path to end violence long term and work toward a two-state solution.” And: “What Israel and the Palestinians need is a new direction in this conflict, not another speech in the well of the House.” CBS 58 reported the same day that she and Rep. Mark Pocan would both stay away; its transcription drops the opening word of that sentence and shortens “the people of Israel” to “Israel”, so her own release is what is quoted here.
  • [Position, 2024-04-05] Her updated statement on the war opens “Outraged. Heartbroken. Horrified. Fed up.” and says: “The Netanyahu government has not only opposed the longstanding U.S. goal of a two-state solution in words, but also in actions, like continuing to support expanding settlements in the West Bank that directly oppose that goal.”
  • [Position, 2025-08-08] Her statement on Gaza: “More than 18 months into this war, now more than ever, is the time to increase efforts to secure peace, the release of hostages, and an end to the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Instead, the decision to pursue a full occupation of Gaza - over the reported opposition of his own military leadership - is an egregious escalation in a war that has already claimed tens of thousands of civilian lives and pushed millions to the brink of starvation, including children. I urge Prime Minister Netanyahu to reverse course and the Trump Administration to strongly oppose this ill-advised plan and renew its efforts to help bring an end to the fighting in a way that isolates Hamas and secures the release of the remaining hostages.” The hyphens in that passage are the page's own.
  • [Position, 2025-10-07] Her statement on the second anniversary of the October 7 attack: “This war must end. The most viable path forward is the recent framework for peace, which, while imperfect, calls for a ceasefire, release of the remaining living hostages and return of any remains, an increase of humanitarian aid, and the rebuilding of Gaza for Gazans.” Urban Milwaukee republished the same statement, timed 4:02 pm that day.
  • [Reaction window, 2024-01-05] Her statement on the war, which includes: “Israel has the unequivocal right to defend itself, but I believe Netanyahu’s government has increasingly conflated the conflict between Israel and Hamas with a conflict between Israel and the civilian population of Gaza and Palestinians, leading to the killings of innocent Palestinian civilians, including thousands of children.” Not on the card summary; recorded here with its date.
  • [Reaction window, 2023-10-20] Wisconsin Public Radio's interview with her on the speakership and the war, reposted on her official site. The repost carries only the program's summary and the audio, which was not listened to. Not on the card summary because of its date in any event.
  • [Earlier record, 2021-05-17] Her statement on escalating violence between Israel and the Palestinian people: “The escalating cycle of violence must cease immediately. I spoke to the Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations last Friday on May 14th. I voiced the need for the U.S. to play a more active role in bringing calm to the region immediately. Peace, security, and prosperity for the people of Israel or Palestinians living in Israel, Gaza or the West Bank will not be won with the blood of civilians.” She closes by sharing a poem she says she wrote after a visit to Israel.
  • [Earlier record, 2019-11-19] Her statement on the reversal of American policy on West Bank settlements: “I am troubled by the State Department’s decision, which moves the U.S. further away from being seen as an honest broker, takes the Israeli and Palestinian people further away from achieving a two-state solution and turns decades of U.S. foreign policy on its head.”
  • [Earlier record, 2018-05-15] Her statement on the deaths at the Gaza border: “As a strong supporter of the U.S.-Israeli relationship, I am deeply concerned by the renewed tensions and tremendous loss of life along the border with Gaza in recent weeks.” And: “I have joined my colleagues calling on the Israeli Defense Forces to stop using deadly force against unarmed protesters, unless to prevent imminent loss of life. I have also condemned Hamas, a terrorist organization, that has shown time and again its disregard for innocent human life whether Palestinian or Israeli.”

Israel-related rhetoric and lobbying

  • [Earlier record, 2016-12-16] Her statement on the nomination of David Friedman as ambassador to Israel: “From his blind support for settlements in the West Bank and flagrant opposition to a two-state solution to his unconscionable and frighteningly casual use of holocaust imagery to vilify progressive American Jews, Mr. Friedman lacks the experience and temperament necessary to serve as our nation’s ambassador to Israel.” And: “Now, more than ever, we need to work together with our partners abroad and at home to ensure the protection and survival of the Jewish State.” Our research dated this to 2017 and attributed it to J Street; it is her own release of December 2016.
  • [Earlier record, 2015-03-03] She did not attend the Israeli prime minister's address to a joint meeting of Congress. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report reposted on her official site attributes the words “campaign stunt” and “The Congresswoman refuses to be anyone’s political prop” to her spokesman Eric Harris, not to her, and the report says she “wants no part of it”. Common Dreams and Middle East Eye both list “Rep. Gwen Moore (Wis.)” among those staying away. Because the quoted words are a spokesman's, only the fact of her absence is treated as hers.
  • [Reaction window, 2023-11-07] Her statement on voting against censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Not on the card summary; recorded here with its date.
  • [Earlier record, 2023-02-02] Her statement against the resolution removing Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee. It is about committee assignments and party politics and says nothing about what the United States sends.
  • No statement of hers about donations from any organization on this subject was located, and no such organization appears on her campaign site. Our research pointed at https://jstreet.org/get-involved as a source for her 2017 remarks on the Friedman nomination; that page is J Street's volunteer sign-up page and does not name her.

Safety and antisemitism (context, not an answer to what America sends)

  • [Earlier record, 2017-03-01] WisPolitics carried her response to the president's joint address to Congress: “The theme of tonight's joint address to Congress —the 'renewal of American spirit' — felt painfully hollow as the only renewal I've seen since President Trump took office is a pernicious wave of nationalism, racism, misogyny, and antisemitism.” The page refused one attempt and opened on the other.
  • [Earlier record, December 2022] She recorded a message for the Milwaukee Jewish Federation's Shine a Light campaign during Hanukkah. WUWM 89.7 reported it on December 19, 2022, and the participant list appears in Milwaukee Independent and Urban Milwaukee. None of the three carries words of hers.
  • [Reaction window, 2023-11-19] The Jerusalem Post reported on a neo-Nazi march in Madison and wrote: “Congresswoman Gwen Moore, representative of Wisconsin's 4th district, expressed her disturbance by the neo-Nazi demonstrations in Madison. "Hate, white supremacy, and antisemitism have no place in America," she posted on X.” Not on the card summary because of its date, and context in any event.
  • Our research reported that on February 20, 2024 she cosponsored the Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act, H.R. 537, citing an announcement by the office of Rep. María Elvira Salazar. No address was given for it and none could be found; nothing is built on it, and a medal for wartime diplomats is context rather than an answer about what America sends.

What the campaign site and own pages say

  • [Read 2026-09-20] Her campaign site, its biography page, its media page and its contact page were all read. A case-insensitive search of every page for israel, gaza, palestin, hamas, antisemit, jewish, unrwa, west bank, foreign aid, middle east, arms, weapon and aipac returns nothing. The media page lists four things she will keep fighting for: health care costs and medical debt, opposing a blank check for immigration enforcement, banning insider stock trading by members of Congress and the President, and opposing the war in Iran. The biography page covers her committee work, low-income communities, education and veterans.
  • [Read 2026-09-20] WUWM 89.7 published a candidate page for this district and sent a questionnaire to all three candidates. It records that she did not respond, and fills her entry from her campaign site and earlier coverage. Its questions do not reach this subject.

The race

  • [Read 2026-09-20] The general election is on November 3, 2026. Wisconsin's partisan primary was held on August 11, 2026. The field on the Wisconsin Elections Commission's certified Candidates on Ballot list, printed on August 25, 2026, is Tim Rogers, a Republican, Gwen Moore, a Democrat, and Arthur Burks, an independent. Ballotpedia's page for the race agrees: “Incumbent Gwen Moore, Tim Rogers, and Arthur Burks are running in the general election for U.S. House Wisconsin District 4 on November 3, 2026.” It gives the August 11 primary results as Moore 70.5 percent to Amy Donahue's 29.3 on the Democratic side and Rogers 80.8 percent to Purnima Nath's 18.8 on the Republican side, and lists Robert Raymond and Carlos Dixon, both independents, and the Democrat Asher Smale as withdrawn or disqualified. Ballotpedia prints its own caution that the candidate list may not be complete. The other candidates' records belong on their own cards.

Places that could not be read, so nothing is claimed from them

  • The Senate page our research cited for the October 2023 resolution, at https://www.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/in-the-news/in-washington-a-massive-show-of-support-for-israel-on-capitol-hill , which could not be opened on 2026-09-20. The claim it was cited for is not on the card summary because of its date in any event, and the republished copy of the same reporting on another member's site, which did open, says she had not signed the resolution.
  • One address in our research resolved to nothing at all: a house.gov page with no address recorded and an error in its place. There is nothing to try.
  • The audio of her October 2023 Wisconsin Public Radio interview. It was not listened to.
  • Her accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, which her campaign site links. None was read here, and no video was watched for this card.

Not on the card, and why

  • Everything dated between October 7, 2023 and January 25, 2024: her November 2, 2023 statement explaining a vote against the House Republican Israel-only supplemental, her November 7, 2023 statement on the Tlaib censure, the October 20, 2023 radio interview, her January 5, 2024 statement on the war, the November 19, 2023 report of her post about the Madison march, and the October 11, 2023 roundup listing her among members who had not signed the support resolution. All are on the research page with their dates. This is the largest single body of material kept off this card.
  • Everything she has said about Iran: her statements of February 28, 2026 on strikes on Iran, April 8, 2026, May 14, 2026 and June 18, 2026, her September 16, 2026 statement on a Russia and Iran sanctions bill, her 2018 statement on leaving the Iran nuclear deal and her 2015 statements supporting it. A different question from what the United States sends to the government of Israel. Where an Iran clause sits inside a sentence of hers that is quoted whole, the quotation keeps its own words and nothing is built on it.
  • The Iron Dome funding she named in April 2024, as front material. Defensive systems are kept off the fifty-word front by standing rule; it is on the deep dive and the research page with no prejudice.
  • The Peace Action of Wisconsin account of four words attributed to her at an October 2025 protest. The group was asking her for a cosponsorship at the time and is the only place the words appear; its post is linked on the research page so a reader can weigh it.
  • Her record before October 7, 2023: the 2015 absence from the Netanyahu address, the 2016 statement on the Friedman nomination, the 2018 statement on the Gaza border deaths, the 2019 statement on West Bank settlements and the 2021 statement on escalating violence. All are on the research page under their dates. Her position-band record is long enough to speak for itself.
  • The words of her 2015 spokesman. They are his, and only the fact of her absence is treated as hers.
  • The antisemitism material: the 2017 response to the joint address, the 2022 Hanukkah campaign, the 2023 march in Madison and the reported Holocaust medal cosponsorship. Context about safety, not an answer to what America sends.
  • The USAID passage and the President's words that she quotes in her April 5, 2024 statement. Other people's words, quoted by her.
  • Tim Rogers's and Arthur Burks's records. Another candidate's record belongs on that candidate's own card.
  • The health care, taxes, housing, immigration, veterans and Ukraine material that fills most of her newsroom and all of her campaign site. Out of scope.
  • The recorded votes and the recorded cosponsorships. They are shown in this card's record section. The prose narrates no roll call; where it describes the July 2026 amendment and the April 2024 package it does so from the statements she published herself.
