Dear [Representative’s Name],

I am writing to urge you to support an increase in the minimum wage for our state. I have seen firsthand the challenges that many workers face in making ends meet with the current minimum wage.

Raising the minimum wage is not only a matter of economic justice but also a practical necessity with the cost of everything going up. Studies have shown that higher wages lead to increased productivity, lower employee turnover, and greater consumer spending, all of which benefit our local economy.

[personalize your email with stories or data you have gathered or even additional info.]

I request that you consider the significant benefits of a higher minimum wage and support legislation that increases the minimum wage to a livable level. Thank you for your time and attention to this important issue.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
