The Department of Labor states: “The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.”

As of the official DOL page checked for the 2026 assessment, the federal minimum wage remains $7.25, so the wage-raise part of the promise has not been delivered.

GovInfo lists H.R. 2743, “Raise the Wage Act of 2025,” full title “To provide for increases in the Federal minimum wage,” with action: introduced and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce.

A federal minimum-wage bill existed in the 119th Congress, but the official record here shows only introduction/referral, not enactment. McClain Delaney is not listed among the original cosponsors in this introduced version.

The bill text would amend the FLSA to set wages from $9.50 to $17.00 over time, and includes tipped workers, youth workers, and workers with disabilities.

The introduced bill matches the minimum-wage component of the promise, but it remained proposed legislation rather than a delivered federal wage increase.

Her official House page says that for the 119th Congress she joined several caucuses, including the “Labor Caucus.”

Labor Caucus membership aligns with the labor-union component of the promise, but membership alone is not delivery of a policy change.
