1. Should the Federal Minimum Wage Be Gradually Increased to $15 an Hour by 2024?

This bill — the Raise the Wage Act of 2019 — would increase the $7.25 an hour federal minimum wage in phases each year until it reaches $15 an hour in 2024. It would index future increases in the federal minimum wage to median wage growth, in order to ensure that the value of the minimum wage doesn’t erode over time again, as it has in the past. It would also repeal subminimum wages to ensure that tipped workers, youth workers, and individuals with disabilities are competitively employed at the minimum wage. Vote now →

2. RAWR Act: Should the State Dept. Offer Rewards to Combat Global Wildlife Trafficking?

This bill — the Rescuing Animals with Rewards (RAWR) Act of 2019 — would authorize rewards for thwarting wildlife trafficking linked to transnational organized crime. The State Department — which already offers rewards in exchange for information that helps deter transnational organized crime — would now be able to offer cash rewards in exchange for information about wildlife trafficking, such as poaching and illegal trade in wildlife.

3. Should the Obamacare 'Cadillac Tax' on High-Cost, Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance Plans Be Repealed?

This bill — the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019 — would repeal the “Cadillac tax” which would impose a 40% excise tax on high-cost, employer-sponsored health insurance plans beginning in 2022. The Cadillac tax was enacted under the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare), and would apply to health plans valued at more than $10,200 for individuals or $27,500 for families when accounting for premium payments made by employers & employees plus contributions to a variety of health savings & spending accounts in that total.
