Are you for a minimum wage increase on the federal level?

If so, would you bring it up to the poverty level of $15 per hour, even if you believe it should be incremental? If instead you believe it should be incremental, how long until you would make it $15?

Is increasing minimum wage to $15 hr, or does prices and taxes need cut?

From the 1970"s, until now prices have increased more than 10-times. My parents' cost for a new car = $3,000! How can we reverse the trend of price gouging, inflation, and over-taxing citizens?

Would you be willing to fight for a living wage in Florida?

$8.05 is the current Florida minimum wage, which many could say is very low. Would you be willing to vote and support a living wage in the Florida Senate?

How will you make sure the minimum wage proposed will be a livable wage in 2017?

Minimum wage is at all time low. So how will these congressmen try to change the minimum wage to be a livable wage in all parts of the country.

Do you support a $15/hour minimum wage? If no, why?

Adjusted for inflation and the rise in productivity of the American worker, the minimum wage should be over $20 /hour. $15/hour is reasonable start.
