In these difficult economic times, far too many Iowans are working hard but still struggling to make ends meet. I grew up in poverty and understand what it is like to sit around the kitchen table and worry about how the bills are going to get paid. I support increasing the minimum wage so that hard working Iowans are able to maintain a basic standard of living, but I want to know what you think.

I believe it is time for Iowa's workers to get a raise, but I also understand the difficulties small businesses face in meeting their bottom line. We must grow an economy that works for all Iowans. It is important for me to know what you think about proposals to raise the minimum wage.
