The Honorable Donna F. Edwards
Asking the House to Consider, H.R. 1010, the Fair Minimum Wage Act
July 30, 2014

Ms. SLAUGHTER: Mr. Speaker, for the purpose of a unanimous consent request, I yield to the gentlewoman from Maryland (Ms. Edwards).

Ms. EDWARDS: Mr. Speaker, I rise to bring up H.R. 1010, the Fair Minimum Wage Act. America deserves a raise by raising the minimum wage, which will jump-start the middle class, instead of this partisan lawsuit attacking the President of the United States.

The SPEAKER pro tempore: The Chair understands that the gentleman from Florida has not yielded for that purpose. Therefore, the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained.
