Issue Position: Equal Pay for Equal Work

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Women Employment and Affirmative Action

Women in Delaware make on average 81% of the wages earned by their male counterparts and that rate is even less for Latino and African American women. That means that women in Delaware earn potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars less than men over the course of their careers. This doesn't just hurt women, but it hurts their families who count on them and hurts our economy across the board.

I will work to make equal pay a reality. I will stand up to the politicians in Washington who oppose efforts to guarantee equal pay for equal work.
