Raise the minimum wage.
Occurrences
Evidence

No matching text found for "minimum wage" on the official press releases archive page; the visible recent entries are dated May 26, May 21, May 20, May 5, April 30, April 29, April 23, and April 22, 2026.
Assessments
The promised federal outcome has not been achieved: the U.S. Department of Labor still lists the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, unchanged since July 24, 2009. But the provided record does not show a DelBene-specific enacted measure, sponsorship history, or other concrete candidate-linked action sufficient to score this as a definitive failed delivery rather than an ongoing unresolved promise in active federal service.
