Amy McGrath: "Unions have protected Kentucky workers for generations." Celebrates "the progress of organized labor in this country." Supports a gradual rise to $15 an hour.

Mitch McConnell: Has "continually supported legislation at the federal level to enact right-to-work nationwide." A minimum wage hike would "kill jobs and depress the economy."

C. Wesley Morgan: Make Kentucky a Right to Work State
