San Francisco, Seattle, LA and DC all passed ordinances raising the minimum wage to $15 in 2014-2015.

Telling other people they need to raise their minimum wage to $15 while paying your campaign staff below that, though...

The reason, of course, that this is now a "mainstream idea" is because places like Seattle have had a $15 minimum wage for years and the economy didn't collapse. Now people don't freak out. Same as how the ACA has proved that government involvement in health care didn't cause the end of the world and now people aren't so freaked out about universal health care.
