A Living Wage -- Right, Just & Long Overdue

The issue isn't that Kentuckians aren't working hard enough -- it's that the work they are doing doesn't pay enough.

We can't move the Commonwealth forward without accepting the fact that working people are working harder than ever while wages in Kentucky, like much of the country, have grown stagnant.

It is unacceptable for a Kentucky family to work hard every day only to find themselves unable to meet even their most basic needs. Adam Edelen and Gill Holland support ensuring that Kentucky workers are paid a living wage.
