As you read this email, lawmakers in Washington are still debating whether
or not to include a $15 an hour minimum wage in the next COVID relief
package.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had another Senator from Pennsylvania who
believed that all paychecks should have dignity, and that we should stop
letting corporations pay workers starvation wages? 🤔

[2]@JohnFetterman Same people blocking $15/hr are waiting on the other
side to shame you for needing assistance to simply
eat, because the minimum wage is just that shitty.

John's been saying for years that we need to raise the minimum wage to at
least $15 an hour. He hasn't had to "evolve" on key issues — because he
says what he believes and he believes what he says.

Subject: I want to hear where you're at re: raising the minimum wage to at
least $15 an hour, John

All work has dignity, John. All
paychecks must, too.

That’s why, as a U.S. Senator, I’d fight to raise the national minimum
wage to at least $15 an hour. ✊

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania hasn’t been raised in *more* than a
decade. It’s time we stop pretending we’re saving money or jobs by paying
starvation wages. It’s mathematically impossible to live on minimum wage,
and we all end up making up the difference as a society in the form of
public assistance, crime, health care — you name it.

As I strongly consider a run for Senate, it’s important to me to hear
exactly where folks like you are on huge issues such as raising the
minimum wage. [ [link removed] ]So add your name if you agree: We’ve got to raise the
national minimum wage to at least $15 an hour to make sure that every
person can live and work with dignity.

For people trying to stay above water, the $7.25 minimum wage in
Pennsylvania just isn’t enough to get by. Not even close. So why pretend
it’s nothing more than an anchor to poverty, despair + dependence? 🤔

The truth is that the same politicians blocking a $15 per hour minimum
wage are waiting on the other side to shame you for needing assistance
simply to eat. Because the minimum wage is just *that* shitty.

I think it’s high time for us to take on this issue the right way by
raising the national minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. But I realize
this campaign has never just been about me. That’s why I want to know
where you’re at, John.

Thanks for your input,

Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania

P.S. Look, John: I believe
that no one who is working 40-plus hours a week should live in poverty in
America – and the majority agrees: 67% of Americans support raising the
minimum wage to $15 an hour. [ [link removed] ]If you’re among them, let me know by
adding your name to our petition in support of raising the national
minimum wage to at least $15 an hour.
