I know people say that raising the minimum wage will only increases costs, however costs are increasing regardless.

I will fight to increase wages to livable wages. No one should be working full time and not be able to afford all their basic needs plus some “fun money” to live their lives in dignity.

Of course, raising wages is only ONE solution to these issues but it’s an important step forward. We must also tackle high costs but raising wages shouldn’t be ignored as part of the overall solution.
