Evidence

The Raise the Wage Act of 2025 would gradually raise the minimum wage to $17 by 2030... The Raise the Wage Act of 2025 has 142 original House co-sponsors, including... Maxine Dexter (OR-03)...

Dexter was an original House cosponsor of the 2025 Raise the Wage Act, which would raise the federal minimum wage above $15, to $17 by 2030. This is concrete legislative support, but it is not enactment.

Dexter's member page links her to the 119th Congress but does not show enacted minimum-wage legislation; the relevant Raise the Wage Act remains an introduced bill. This reinforces that the claim has not yet been delivered federally.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promised outcome was to raise the federal minimum wage to at least $15 per hour. Evidence shows Rep. Maxine Dexter materially supported that goal in office by helping introduce and cosponsoring the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would raise the federal minimum wage to $17. However, the bill was only introduced and referred to committee in both chambers, and there is no evidence that any federal law raising the minimum wage was enacted. Under the rule for serious legislative attempts that fail to achieve the promised outcome, this should be scored as never delivered with effort credit.
