Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) will vote by proxy, she said Thursday, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am unable to physically attend proceedings in the House chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency,” Moore said in a letter to House clerk Cheryl Johnson, designating Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) as her proxy.
