- HB 31, Phased-In Minimum Wage Increase, sponsored by Representatives
Miguel Garcia and Joanne Ferrary, has passed the House and is scheduled to be
heard on 23 February in the Senate Public Affairs Committee. The bill
increases the minimum wage to 10 dollars per hour on 1 July 2019, 11 dollars
per hour on 1 July 2020, and 12 dollars per hour on 1 July 2021. Thereafter,
it increases annually to keep up with inflation.
- Please email or call the members of the committee listed below to express
your support this Bill.
- You can prepare, and then copy and paste your message into emails to the
committee members listed at the bottom of this message.
- You can click on the name in the list below to open an email to the
corresponding legislator. If that doesn't work for you, you can go to
https://www.nmlegis.gov/Members/Find_My_Legislator to find the email address.
Your message
- Remember, the principal purpose of the message is to show your support for
the bill.
- However, a brief justification for your position is helpful though not
essential, to let the legislator know that you are familiar with the bill. Here
are possible reasons (but please use your own words)
- Income for the upper 95% has increased by 36% over the last 40 years,
while wages for low and medium wage workers over that period has been flat.
- Even though 10 dollars per hour is well below the official living wage
in New Mexico for a single parent raising a child, it is far better than the
current $7.50.

- If the addressee is the chair of the committee, you may wish to note that

- If you are addressing the sponsor (see above) of legislation that you
oppose, you may want to acknowledge that the addressee is the sponsor (for
example, use of the phrase "...your bill..." in the message) while expressing
your disagreement.
- If your own legislator is a member of the committee, acknowledge that in
your message.
