But, while Matt has been working for Pennsylvania families in Congress, Republicans have begun pumping money into the district to attack his record.
John,
Matt’s top priority has always been fighting for the workers of Northeastern Pennsylvania. That is why he has recently introduced the COVID-19 Mine Worker Protection Act in Congress. This bill would implement safety protocols inside mines and deliver PPE to ensure that our miners are able to work safely without the risk of infection.
Essential workers, like miners, are important parts of our society and we need to make sure that we’re fighting for them. Matt has been working hard in Congress to fight for all workers by pushing for $2,000 direct payments, hazard pay, and a fair wage.
Matt has recently been pushing hard for the Raise the Wage Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hour by 2025. The minimum wage hasn’t been updated in more than a decade, so it’s no surprise that no American living anywhere can afford rent, food, and other essentials on a minimum wage of $7.25/hour. That’s why Matt is fighting hard to put more money in people’s pockets — all American workers deserve a living wage.
The Raise the Wage Act would help Northeastern Pennsylvania workers by raising their annual wages an average of $3,700. Working folks deserve to earn a living wage and passing this bill would help them do just that.
