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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): 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.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): 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.
