Rep Moore Omokunde- “I’m a NO on this budget”
MADISON— Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate convened for legislative floor session to pass the 2025-27 Executive Budget. The budget passed both houses and now heads to Governor Tony Evers’s desk.
State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde (D-Milwaukee) had this to say on an amendment offered by Democrats to extend Medicaid eligibility for postpartum women to 12 months: “This amendment gives my colleagues on the other side of the aisle the opportunity to support a bipartisan measure that upholds family values. In fact, 28 of you have already co-sponsored Assembly Bill 97, which is the same as our amendment here.”
The amendment failed on a party line vote.
Representative Moore Omokunde represents the 17th Assembly District on the North and Northwest sides of Milwaukee.
