Evidence

The Department of Labor says the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009, and notes that state laws may provide greater employee protections.

Federal law still shows no $15 wage or inflation indexing, so the pledge remains unfulfilled.

The official press-release archive shows June 5, June 9, and June 11, 2026 activity on other bills, including the Cogswell-Macy Act, the Helen Keller Education Act, and a proposal to divert ICE funding; a search of the archive found no 'minimum wage' match.

McGarvey was active in the lookback window, but there is no visible minimum-wage action on his official site.

Assessments

never unknown

The federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour and there is no evidence in the cited official materials that Morgan McGarvey materially advanced a $15 minimum wage with inflation indexing. Because the promised federal outcome has not been achieved and no serious attempt is documented here, the pledge is unfulfilled.
