Congresswoman Gwen Moore Statement on the Presidential Inauguration

Congresswoman Gwen Moore Statement on the Presidential Inauguration “While I attended the session of Congress to certify the 2024 election results on January 6th, I will not be attending President-elect Trump’s inauguration. I normally attend ceremonies like inaugurations and State of the Union speeches; however, through his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, President-elect Trump has shown no respect for our democracy or the rule of law, so I do not feel compelled to attend the inauguration. I will be in Milwaukee on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Our city has a long history of MLK celebrations, even before it was designated a national holiday. I am excited to join vibrant celebrations of a man who truly made American greater through his commitment to human dignity and equality. I look forward to celebrating with my constituents and witnessing how their creative talents through spoken word, music, and dance carry Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy forward.” |
