Op-Ed with U.S. Labor Secretary
Finally, here is an Op-Ed that I co-wrote with Tom Perez, the U.S. Labor Secretary, in support of Initiative 425. This piece clearly lays out the arguments for raising the minimum wage. Share this with your networks as well: http://www.omaha.com/opinion/midlands-voices-ensure-fair-pay-for-hard-work/article_e6bd6331-3e17-5794-83ad-5d111662f56b.html

Initiative 425 seeks a modest increase in the state minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $9.00 per hour over a two-year period. This ballot question has significant ramifications for women and families in our state. Nebraska has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and one of the highest rates of working parents. Over 64,300 children in the state have a parent who would receive a raise if the minimum wage were increased to $9.00 per hour in Nebraska.
