Gwen Moore Seeks Assistance to Reduce Milwaukee Gun Violence, Sends Letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder

July 16, 2014

 MILWAUKEE – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder asking him to partner with local officials to help reduce and prevent gun violence in Milwaukee.
“Gun violence is a plague that steals the lives of far too many in our community. Each time we lose a life, our hearts break and the violence continues.
“We must all work together, on the local, state and federal levels, to thwart these crimes. While common-sense gun violence reduction measures sit in legislative limbo, I am taking additional action now. I have asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to provide resources and support to our community. I know that these efforts alone will not solve our horrific problem, but neither will inaction.
“While I wait for his response, we must look to one another. Every one of us has an invested interest in ending this senseless violence. I implore everyone to do our part to keep our children and our community safe.”
