your congressman fights to increase the federal minimum wage
Increase the federal minimum wage.
Occurrences
Together, we can advocate for a federal minimum wage increase
Evidence
The campaign issues page says: 'Every citizen deserves a living wage for a day of hard work' and says the congressman should 'fight to increase the federal minimum wage' so Louisianians can make ends meet. It also says the federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009.
The Department of Labor states that the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.
The FAQ says the federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.
The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour.
The bill is titled "Raise the Wage Act of 2025" and its purpose is "to provide for increases in the Federal minimum wage"; Cleo Fields is listed among the cosponsors.
Assessments
Fields promised to fight to increase the federal minimum wage and took a concrete same-term legislative step by cosponsoring the Raise the Wage Act of 2025. However, the promised outcome has not been enacted: official Department of Labor guidance still lists the federal minimum wage as $7.25 per hour, unchanged since July 24, 2009. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but no delivered wage increase, this counts as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
Fields promised to fight to increase the federal minimum wage, but the federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, unchanged since July 24, 2009. The promised policy outcome has therefore not been delivered. The provided evidence does not show a serious legislative or executive attempt by Fields that failed, so no effort badge is warranted.
