Supporting unions and workers. The first step to improving our economy is to empower workers. That’s why I co-sponsored the Raise Wage Wage Act to responsibly increase our national minimum wage to $15 an hour. In addition, I led the effort to enact a historic twelve-week paid parental leave policy for federal workers, which I hope will be replicated for all Americans.

Commits to support a higher minimum wage and broader paid leave protections.

The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment. Houlahan cosponsored H.R.582, the Raise the Wage Act, during her first House term, directly satisfying the $15 federal minimum wage component. She later cosponsored H.R.3089 to expand paid family leave access through state paid-leave programs, satisfying the paid parental/family leave component. Because the second component was materially advanced in later federal service, the overall fulfilled timing is later_term.
