Biography & Current Office
Background & current office
Mark Pocan is the Democratic U.S. representative for Wisconsin’s 2nd Congressional District and has served in the House since January 2013. Before Congress, he served 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly and built a small printing business; his official biography also identifies his background as a union member and longtime Madison-area civic and legislative figure.
In the 119th Congress, Pocan serves on the House Appropriations Committee, including the Labor-HHS-Education and Financial Services and General Government subcommittees, and he was appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee in June 2026. His caucus leadership includes co-chairing the Congressional Equality Caucus and Congressional Labor Caucus and serving as chair emeritus of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. These are maintained as institutional/public-record roles rather than claim ratings.

Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. TrumpsMouth will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
