Evidence

The Congress.gov bill page for H.R. 2743 lists Robin L. Kelly among the cosponsors. It also shows the bill’s latest action as introduction and referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce on 2025-04-08, so the proposal is not enacted.

Kelly backed the 2025 federal minimum-wage bill, but it remains only introduced and referred in committee.

The bill text states that regular workers’ federal minimum wage would rise in steps to $17.00 an hour after five years, with tipped workers also reaching $17.00 after six years.

The measure Kelly supported would have raised the federal minimum wage to $17, but only by statute passage and phased implementation.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support a $17 federal minimum wage by 2030, not to guarantee enactment. Kelly is listed as a cosponsor of H.R. 2743, the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would phase the federal minimum wage up to $17 per hour over five years. That is a concrete same-term act of support matching the promise, even though the bill has not been enacted.
