Evidence

Under the "Working Families" section, the campaign site says: "In Congress, we can count on her to continue to stand up for women and their families, and fight for: Increasing the federal minimum wage to $15/hour and eliminating the tipped minimum wage."

This is the original campaign promise matching the claim exactly.

The press release says the Raise the Wage Act of 2025 would "gradually raise the minimum wage to $17 by 2030" and "guarantee tipped workers are paid at least the full federal minimum wage by phasing out the subminimum wage for tipped workers," and lists Val T. Hoyle (OR-04) among the original House co-sponsors.

Hoyle took a concrete legislative step toward the promise by co-sponsoring a bill to phase out the tipped wage, but the proposal was for $17 rather than $15 and was not enacted.

The Department of Labor states that the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour and that employers may pay tipped employees a cash wage of no less than $2.13 per hour under federal law.

As of the current federal agency guidance, the federal minimum wage and tipped minimum wage remain unchanged, so the promise has not been delivered at the federal level.

Assessments

never later_term A for effort

The promised federal outcome has not been enacted: the federal minimum wage remains $7.25 and the federal tipped cash wage remains $2.13, so neither a $15 minimum wage nor elimination of the tipped minimum wage has been delivered. Hoyle did materially advance the issue by serving as an original House co-sponsor of the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would phase out the tipped subminimum wage and raise the federal wage floor beyond the promised $15 level, but that legislative effort has not become law. Because this is a serious legislative attempt without delivery, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
