Evidence

I also support efforts to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and tie future adjustments to the median hourly wage.

Larsen’s current issues page states ongoing support for raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, which is evidence of continued backing but not of enactment or a new action in the lookback window.

He supports raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, which would give a raise to 46,000 Second District residents.

This official press release records Larsen publicly affirming support for a $15 minimum wage in 2021; it supports the claim but does not show completion of the policy change.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promised outcome was a federal minimum wage of $15 per hour. As of May 18, 2026, the federal minimum wage remains $7.25 per hour, so the policy has not been delivered. Larsen publicly supported the $15 wage and his official materials state he cosponsored the Raise the Wage Act, which is a serious legislative effort toward the promise, but the bill did not become law.
