Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

In July 2018, Maryland will increase its minimum wage to $10.10. Unfortunately, this increase is still out of pace with the cost of living in Baltimore City. Workers at or near minimum wage provide childcare, medical care and support to some of our most vulnerable populations. Stephanie will fight for:

an increase in the state minimum wage to support workers we count on to take care our of our seniors, disabled and children.
legislative efforts to gradually raise the Maryland minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2023.
Workers are also customers. Increased local buying power will also benefit other local businesses.
