Assessments
The promise was to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. The federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, so the promised federal outcome has not been delivered during Gabe Vasquez's tenure. The provided record also does not show that Vasquez sponsored, wrote, or materially advanced successful minimum-wage legislation, nor does it show a serious failed legislative or executive attempt sufficient for an effort badge.
