[ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont

Hello,

One of the first votes I cast as a new congressman was to raise the
minimum wage. We passed that bill, and the president signed it into law.

That was in 2007. Congress hasn’t increased the minimum wage since then,
the longest gap without a raise since the minimum wage was created.

I’ve been fighting to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and make it
automatically rise with the cost of living—so inflation wouldn’t mean a
pay cut for hardworking Americans. You know, economists say that if the
federal minimum wage kept up with workers’ productivity, like it used to,
it would be $23 an hour today!

An increased minimum wage gives hard working folks a chance at the
American dream, and I’ll vote for a minimum wage increase as senator just
like I did as congressman. But if the GOP flips this targeted seat and
takes back the Senate, there will be no chance at increasing the minimum
wage.

$15 to this campaign to make it a reality. We can do this together.

The vast majority of Americans support bumping the federal minimum wage up
to $15 an hour.

It’s popular, and it’s the right thing to do—hard working Americans
shouldn’t have to worry about putting food on the table and keeping a roof
over their heads. Raising the minimum wage up to $15 an hour by 2025 would
give nearly 30 million workers a raise while lifting over a million
families out of poverty.

We’ve all seen that times are tough and costs are rising for millions of
working people. A minimum wage hike is a direct way to relieve some of
that stress at the kitchen table. It will be a top priority for me as
Vermont’s next senator. But first, we’ve got to keep working together to
win this race.

Thank you,

Peter
