Peggy is committed to building a state where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. She co-chaired the Raise the Wage campaign in 2014, which increased the minimum wage to $9.50 per hour and indexed to inflation. She helped lead this effort because she believes that no one working full-time should live in poverty. In her first session, Peggy co-authored the Paid Family and Medical Leave Act. She is also committed to advancing this issue to ensure that Minnesotans don't have to choose between caring for a loved one or earning a pay check. Peggy is also committed to working for paid family leave, a living wage for workers, earned sick and safe time and access to high-quality affordable child care to ensure that all families in Minnesota have an opportunity to achieve economic prosperity.
