evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently re-verified both primary citations; both are live and say what the prior rating claimed. The govinfo introduced text of S. 1332 (Raise the Wage Act of 2025, April 8, 2025) carries the enacting-clause line 'Mr. Sanders (for himself, Ms. Alsobrooks, Ms. Baldwin, ...)', which makes Alsobrooks an ORIGINAL cosponsor at introduction. The bill raises the federal minimum wage in six steps to $17.00/hr and then automatically adjusts it annually by 'the annual percentage increase, if any, in the median hourly wage of all employees as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' -- so it covers both halves of the promise (increase + automatic indexing), albeit indexed to median wage growth rather than CPI inflation. That deviation is a mechanism difference in the same direction, not a reversal, so it does not warrant a downgrade. Adversarial check on the tier: Wikipedia's Raise the Wage Act page confirms Sanders introduced S. 1332 with 33 cosponsors and that it was only 'Referred to Committees of Jurisdiction' with no further action as of December 2025. Being 1 of 33 cosponsors on another member's bill that never got a hearing or floor vote is genuine affirmative advancement but is not leading or driving the effort, so CHAMPIONED (+0.75) would be inflation. Applying the same standard party-neutrally -- a senator of either party who signs on as one of dozens of original cosponsors to a message bill that dies in committee -- the correct tier is ATTEMPTED (+0.25). No evidence found of any contrary action (no vote or measure against a minimum wage increase), and she took office in January 2025 so NO_OPPORTUNITY does not apply. Confidence held at 0.82 rather than raised because the session's web-search budget was exhausted, so I could not exhaustively rule out additional wage-related votes or floor actions beyond the cosponsorship; the two PRIMARY sources fully substantiate the cosponsorship and the bill's contents and status.
