"We need a Federal minimum wage policy that works for rural, suburban, as well as urban Americans."
"The Federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 per hour since 2009."
"My goal is truly to make sure that folks in rural communities, communities of color, and distressed communities are not adversely affected by well-intentioned minimum wage policies."
"We need to raise the minimum wage to help families make ends meet, but we also need to do it in a way that protects jobs and small businesses in our communities."
