GOP Gov Candidates United Against The Minimum Wage
NH Minimum Wage Tied for Lowest in the Nation

Concord, N.H. – New Hampshire families take note. The Republican candidates for governor are not on your side.

WMUR reported Thursday<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=ad3a430d49&e=aac58c81e5> that all of the Republican candidates for governor—Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, State Senator Jeanie Forrester and State Representative Frank Edelblut—oppose the establishment of a state minimum wage, despite the fact New Hampshire is tied for the lowest minimum wage<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=b7d81a088a&e=aac58c81e5> in the country at $7.25-an-hour.

“The Republican candidates’ steadfast opposition to establishing a minimum wage highlights how vastly out-of-touch they are with New Hampshire’s working families,” said NHDP Chair Ray Buckley. “Everyday Granite Staters are hurting, but Republicans continue to stick with the failed trickle-down economic policies of the past. It’s clear the GOP primary is deteriorating into a race to see who can run the farthest to the right, and they're all tied.”

The Democratic candidates for governor—Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern, former State Securities Bureau Chief Mark Connolly and former Portsmouth Mayor Steve Marchand—all support establishing a state minimum wage.

Buckley concluded, “No matter who wins the primaries, voters will have a clear choice this November between a Republican who opposes raising the minimum wage and a Democrat who supports it.”
