Don Bolduc: I will never support raising the minimum wage

Tweet from @GenDonBolduc: As your Senator I will never support raising the minimum wage. The free market and job performance automatically accounts for proper wages. Raising the minimum wage will hurt small businesses and pass costs onto the consumer. This is an attempt to control you.

Andy Martin: Minimum wage but NOT intended as living wage

On Minimum Wage: I separate slightly from other Republican candidates (one of whom may employ minimum wage workers). I started as a minimum wage worker in high school and it seemed like a fair system to me at the time. The minimum wage is NOT intended to be a living wage or a "raise a family" wage. For that, we have to rely on a growing economy.
