“And while these sugar donors are throwing 10s of millions of dollars away on campaign ads in select toss-up districts, regular, hardworking Americans are struggling just to keep their heads above water.

To provide enough, we must raise the minimum wage. I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question so we can bring the minimum wage bill to the floor and get to work growing our economy and helping working families.”
