Increase Minimum Wage
It’s not possible to raise a family on $7.25 per hour. Even single people cannot feed themselves, pay rent, pay utilities, and save for the future on $7.25 per hour.
As we recover from COVID-19, we need to ensure that workers are getting a fair wage. It is completely unacceptable that our state hasn’t raised the minimum wage in over a decade, even though our neighboring states have.
In 2020, I introduced a bill to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania to $15 per hour. As your next representative, I intend to keep fighting to ensure once and for all that no one in our state has to work for poverty wages.
