Hardworking American men and women are struggling to make ends meet and need a raise in the minimum wage. However, Congress has failed to act for more than a decade. As Congressman, I will support raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, lifting the wages of more than 1.2 million men and women in New Jersey and 1/3 of the workforce in our nation. This is a moral issue for me, as it is a question of protecting the economic security of our families.
