EXCERPT:

INSLEE: "But when you raise the floor, you actually help everybody's wages by raising the floor up. And by the way, if anybody tells you that raising the minimum wage wrecks your economy, you send them my way. We got the highest minimum wage in America, tied with Massachusetts, the best wage growth, the best job growth, the best GDP growth. We've been listed as the best place to do business and the best place to work. You send them to Washington, I'll show you a good place to work.”
