Assessments
Julie Johnson cosponsored the federal Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would raise the federal minimum wage to $17, directly matching the promise. However, the bill has not been enacted and remains at the introduced/referred-to-committee stage; the federal minimum wage applicable in Texas has not been raised. This is a serious legislative attempt but not delivery of the promised outcome.
