Leadership on the Minimum Wage

When the Maryland General Assembly convenes next month, I will again be the chief sponsor of a bill in the House of Delegates to raise the minimum wage.  I sponsored bills to raise the minimum wage during the 2012 and 2013 sessions but special interests and members of the political establishment blocked these efforts.  Maryland has one of the highest costs of living in the country yet maintains the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.  My bill will raise the minimum wage to $10.10 by 2016.  This will lift thousands of Maryland families out of poverty.

Please read the following news articles about my efforts to raise awareness about this important issue.  Join me in the fight to raise the minimum wage!  Without your support and letters and telephone calls to members of the legislature, special interests may be able to again defeat measures to help Maryland's working families.
