Occurrences
In Congress, Moore will work to change that, signing on to legislation to raise the minimum wage to provide a real, livable wage for all working Americans.
Evidence
"Moore will work to change that, signing on to legislation to raise the minimum wage to provide a real, livable wage for all working Americans."
Moore said she was proud the bill still included "gradually increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour" and called it a "crucial provision."
The bill text says it is "To provide for increases in the Federal minimum wage" and lists "Ms. Moore of Wisconsin" among the original cosponsors.
Assessments
The promise was to push for a minimum wage increase in Congress, not necessarily to secure enactment. Moore materially did that by publicly supporting minimum wage increase provisions and cosponsoring federal legislation to raise the minimum wage, including the Raise the Wage Act. Because the action required by the promise was advocacy and legislative support while serving in Congress, this counts as fulfilled rather than merely attempted-but-failed.
The promise was to push for an increase in the minimum wage, not necessarily to secure enactment. The evidence shows Moore repeatedly supported and cosponsored legislation to raise the federal minimum wage, including backing a $15 minimum wage provision in 2021 and being listed as an original cosponsor of the Raise the Wage Act of 2025. That satisfies the pledged action of pushing for an increase in Congress.
