Moore Statement on Vote to Extend Unemployment Benefits

Washington, DC – U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) today made the following statement after the House voted 270 to 153 to extend unemployment insurance through November:

“While we have seen some signs that our economy is starting to recover, far too many people are still unemployed.  Our commitment to them shouldn’t end until this recession does.

“And we have either passed or tried to pass long-term extensions of unemployment benefits several times only for it to meet opposition from Republicans in the House and Senate.  Helping out those looking for work should not be partisan.”
