Today, the House passed HR 2, 315-116. This would increase the current federal minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour over two years.

Tim Walberg voted No. Once again, many Republicans crossed over to side with the Democrats in this vote-- 82, to be exact. Among them, Vern Ehlers (MI-03), Fred Upton (MI-06), Candice Miller (MI-10), and Thaddeus McCotter (MI-11). Michigan Republicans voting no (besides Congressman Walberg) were Peter Hoekstra (MI-02), Dave Camp (MI-04), and Mike Rogers (MI-08). Joe Knollenberg (MI-09) did not vote.

No big surprise, really. Walberg voted against raising Michigan's minimum wage plenty of times in the Michigan House.
