Jen Kiggans Voted Against Raising Virginia’s Minimum Wage Gradually Over Six Years To $15/Hour

Kiggans Voted Against Gradually Raising The Minimum Wage To $15/Hour By 2026. In April 2020, Kiggans voted against H.B. 395 “Increases the minimum wage from its current federally mandated level of $7.25 per hour to $9.50 per hour effective May 1, 2021; to $11.00 per hour effective January 1, 2022; to $12.00 per hour effective January 1, 2023; to $13.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025; and to $15.00 per hour effective January 1, 2026.” The bill passed 20-20 and a tiebreaker.
