Rep. Steve Pearce released the following statement in recognition of Equal Pay Day.

"I unequivocally believe in equal pay for equal work. The United States is the land of opportunity--opportunity for ALL. Race, gender, age, or religious beliefs should never impact or infringe upon one's chance at the American Dream. When my wife and I owned our business, we practiced this concept. We must ensure that our children and grandchildren are able to live in a free society where individuals are rewarded based on their merit."
