State Sen. Kelda Roys's Bid for Wisconsin Governor

Published | Video Starts at 02:56

I want to see the minimum wage increased, and I'm the lead author of the bill to bring it up to $15 an hour with a path to 20 by 2030, and to restore collective bargaining rights for public and private sector workers. Wisconsin's wages have lagged behind our Midwestern peers and it has everything to do with the way that Republicans failed. Trickle down economics and their divide and conquer policies have made it harder for everyday Wisconsinites to make ends meet. (02:56–03:05)
