No one working full time should live in poverty in this country, which is why I fully support SEIU’s “Fight for $15? campaign for a living wage.

I look forward to working in partnership with SEIU to give workers a fighting chance.”

She is a proven leader who will work to grow the middle class, ensure access to quality, affordable healthcare and education, and expand job training programs. The nurses and healthcare workers of Pennsylvania are excited to help make Katie McGinty the first woman U.S. Senator in the history of our state!”
