2022 MD Senate race: on Jobs


Chris Chaffee: Pressure to raise minimum wage hurts economy

On the failures of the economy he blames the Democrats. "We are being taxed and regulated by the Democratic Party," he said." Contributing to the economy's woes, he added, are Dodd-Frank, Obamacare and the pressure to raise the minimum wage.

Colin Byrd: Supports raising federal minimum wage to $15/hour

Language that would have implemented a federal $15 minimum wage was removed. The removal of the minimum wage language came after the senate parliamentarian decided it could not be included in a reconciliation bill, a type of bill used for budget-related items that only requires a majority vote. Byrd said, as a senator, he would have supported firing the senate parliamentarian.
