Karen Hickey, Wisconsin AFL-CIO political field communications assistant, sends us this report.

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) joined more than 150 union members at a recent labor walk in Milwaukee to thank volunteers for their hard work this election. We went door to door to talk with union members in support of Wisconsin State AFL-CIO endorsed candidates Sen. Russ Feingold (D) and gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett (D).

Says Penny Amos-Sikora, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 998 legislative director:

Using stimulus money to save hundreds of Milwaukee families from homelessness, Congresswoman Gwen Moore will speak today about how federal funding helped 836 families find a place to live.  Moore  helped secure funding from the stimulus act that was used by community advocates to help decrease the number of evictions.
