Democrat Congresswoman Tests Positive for COVID-19, Shows up to Vote Anyway
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) won another term as speaker of the House on Sunday, but barely. Pelosi needed every vote she could muster, and votes for the speaker had to be cast in person. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) showed up to vote for Nancy Pelosi despite the Wisconsin representative recently testing positive for COVID-19.
Moore is under fire for putting her House colleagues at risk and others she exposed as she traveled to the U.S. Capitol on Sunday to vote for Nancy Pelosi. Just last week, Moore announced on Twitter that she had tested positive for COVID-19. . .
I tested positive for COVID-19. I am following guidance from my doctor and am isolating from others. I am thankful to be feeling well. And I do not foresee this disrupting my work for Wisconsin’s Fourth.

On Sunday, less than a week later, Moore showed up to the U.S. Capitol to vote for Nancy Pelosi. Moore tweeted just hours before the vote that her quarantine had already ended.
Thank you all for the well wishes. I am feeling good! My quarantine is over and I am medically cleared to travel and work on behalf of Wisconsin’s Fourth Congressional District.
