Tell Congress: It’s Time to Raise the Minimum Wage!
Anyone working full time in America should be able to afford to put a roof over their head and food on the table. Yet today, a person trying to raise a family earning the federal minimum wage falls below the federal poverty line. That’s simply unacceptable. It’s time to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and tie it to inflation. It’s time to give America’s working families a raise!
Why is this important?
Washington has one of the highest minimum wages in the country with yearly cost of living adjustments. That’s been good for families, good for local businesses, and good for the state. By raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and tying future increases to the rate of inflation we can lift hundreds of thousands of working families out of poverty.
I’ve been fighting to pass a bill that would do just that. I’m going to keep up that fight until we get it done – but I need your support.

Sign the Petition: show your support for a higher minimum wage that keeps up with inflation!
