Norcross Ahead of First Minimum Wage Vote in Over a Decade

This will mark the first vote in more than a decade to raise the federal minimum wage. The Raise the Wage Act: • Gradually raises the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour over the next six years to lift millions of workers out of poverty, stimulate local economies and restore the value of minimum wage, and • Indexes future increases in the federal minimum wage to median wage to ensure the value of minimum wage does not once again erode over time. The Raise the Wage Act of 2019 was introduced by Norcross, the Democratic leadership team and Senator Bernie Sanders with 181 House cosponsors.
