Jeanie Forrester's Economic Plan? Lower Wages for Granite Staters

Concord, N.H. – Today, State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Jeanie Forrester pitted herself squarely against hard-working Granite Staters looking for better wages and a higher quality of life.

Asked whether she would sign a bill raising New Hampshire’s minimum wage—currently tied for having the lowest minimum wage in the nation<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=7ce18b912f&e=aac58c81e5> — Forrester said, “I would not. I believe that government should stay out of what a business does.”

Forrester voted to repeal<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=07643f1adb&e=aac58c81e5> New Hampshire’s minimum wage in 2011 and voted against<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=359b63449b&e=aac58c81e5> an increase as recently as February. While Forrester's so-called economic plan acknowledges that “wages have been relatively flat over the past decade,” her record and her new push today to abolish the minimum wage would only make things worse for hardworking Granite Staters.

“Jeanie Forrester’s outrageous opposition to raising the minimum wage reveals she’s sticking to the same failed, discredited trickle-down economic policies of the past that devastated our economy and the middle class,” said NHDP Chair Ray Buckley. “The GOP primary is fast becoming a contest over who can recklessly become closest to far-right ideology and show how out-of-touch they are with mainstream Granite Staters.”
