breaking up monopolies that drive up prices while suppressing wages
Break up monopolies that drive up prices while suppressing wages.
Occurrences
Evidence
On April 28, 2026, Rep. Analilia Mejia joined other members to introduce the Living Wage for All Act, which raises the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour and frames the effort around workers needing a living wage as prices rise and profits grow.
The press release says Congressmembers Delia Ramirez, Jesús García, Lateefah Simon, and Analilia Mejia introduced the Living Wage for All Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour.
The official House website identifies Analilia Mejia as a sitting U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 11th District and shows the site launched with her sworn-in news on April 20, 2026.
The Clerk’s member page lists Analilia Mejia as NJ-11 Democrat with oath of office Apr. 20, 2026, and shows her committee assignment on Homeland Security; no antitrust, monopoly-breakup, or similar bill action appears on this page.
GovInfo records a House concurrent resolution from May 20, 2026 with Analilia Mejia among the sponsors, showing she is active on federal legislation during the period even though the measure is unrelated to monopolies, prices, or wages.
Assessments
Evidence shows Mejia took some same-term action related to the wages portion of the promise by co-introducing the Living Wage for All Act in April 2026. That is a concrete legislative effort tied to rising prices and worker pay. However, the specific promise was to break up monopolies that drive up prices while suppressing wages, and the provided record does not show Mejia introducing, sponsoring, or materially advancing antitrust or monopoly-breakup legislation, nor achieving such an outcome. Because there is meaningful action on one part of the promise but no evidence of delivery on the monopoly-breaking component, the best judgment is partial rather than delivered or never.
