俄克拉何马州长竞选人就7.25美元最低工资针锋相对
俄克拉何马州俄克拉何马县俄克拉何马城市消息，俄克拉何马州两名主要政党州长竞选人10月26日就该州每小时7.25美元的最低工资给出截然相反的方案。民主党人辛迪·芒森表示，如当选将把提高最低工资列为早期优先事项；共和党人迈克·马泽伊则明确反对任何上调，认为加薪可能损害就业。芒森指出，按现行标准全职工一年税前收入约15000美元，而要负担一居室租金、水电、食品与汽油等基本开支，时薪至少需达到14.45美元。
她曾于2025年在州众议院提出将最低工资定为每小时15美元的法案，但未能走出委员会。马泽伊则以选民今年早些时候否决了到2029年涨至15美元的公民提案为依据，坚持反对加薪。俄克拉何马州是全美仍维持7.25美元联邦标准的二十个州之一。
Oklahoma Gubernatorial Candidates Face Off Over the $7.25 Minimum Wage
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma — Oklahoma's two major-party candidates for governor offered sharply opposing proposals on October 26 on the state's $7.25-an-hour minimum wage. Democrat Cyndi Munson said she would make raising the minimum wage an early priority if elected; Republican Mike Mazzei stated clearly that he opposes any increase, arguing that a raise could hurt jobs. Munson noted that at the current rate, a full-time worker earns about $15,000 a year before taxes, while covering basic expenses such as rent for a one-bedroom apartment, utilities, food and gasoline requires a wage of at least $14.45 an hour.
In 2025 she introduced a bill in the state House to set the minimum wage at $15 an hour, but it did not make it out of committee. Mazzei pointed to voters' rejection earlier this year of a citizen proposal to raise the wage to $15 by 2029 as the basis for his position against an increase. Oklahoma is one of twenty states in the nation still maintaining the $7.25 federal standard.
