Candidate's Website, 2016
"The ability to earn a living wage for an honest day's work is vital to the health of our community. Today, many of our workers are being left behind by a minimum wage which has failed to keep pace with inflation, and are being forced to make impossible choices as their bills continue to come due. A successful society must have livable wages for its hardworking members. As your State Senator Lee will support raising the minimum wage."
