Issue Position: Livable Wage

Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes Business, Consumers, and Employees

While big box stores like Walmart and Home Depot are making billions of dollars in profits, they should be able to provide their employees a livable wage. Wage increases will help our local businesses by bringing more money into our communities. Even after being vetoed by Governor Scott and voted down by Bennington 2-1's Representative Bates, Vermont is fortunately on-track to earn $12.50 an hour by 2022. I look forward to helping Vermonters earn a minimum wage of $15 an hour by 2024.
