Mejia called for raising the minimum wage
Raise the minimum wage.
Occurrences
I’m proud to partner with Congresswoman Delia Ramirez on the Living Wage for All Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 an hour.
Evidence
The Department of Labor's minimum wage page states that the federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour. The page was crawled 3 days ago and does not show any recent federal increase or enacted change during the lookback window.
Assessments
The promise is federal in scope for a U.S. Representative. The available evidence shows the federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, with no enacted federal increase reflected during the lookback window. There is no evidence in the payload that Mejia sponsored, wrote, passed, or materially advanced a successful federal minimum-wage increase, and no evidence of a failed serious legislative attempt sufficient for an effort badge.
