Building a Working Families Economy
The American Dream is unaffordable and inaccessible for too many workers. Delawareans across our state are struggling under rising costs and insufficient wages. Our government is not doing enough to support people as they set off in their careers and seek to start a family.
Every worker deserves a living wage, basic protections, good benefits, and the support necessary for them to thrive. That is why Congress must increase the federal minimum wage to $15 and set it to rise with inflation. In Congress, I will fight to pass the critical policies that got cut from the Build Back Better Act like paid family and medical leave, universal childcare, and investments in housing and elder care.
