Dear John,

Lillian's List Foundation is committed to ensuring women are ready to run and win elected office at every level in North Carolina. We are especially proud to amplify the voices of the hardworking female legislators in the General Assembly.

To help do so, we are featuring one incumbent legislator each week in our #WomanCrushWednesday spotlight. This week, our #WomanCrush is Representative Pricey Harrison!

FAST FACTS

Name: Pricey Harrison
District: 61 (Guilford)
In office since: 2005
Key Committees: Appropriations - Agriculture & Natural & Economic Resources; Election Law & Campaign Finance Reform; Energy & Public Utilities; Environment; Judiciary 1; Marine Resources & Aquaculture; Redistricting

FEATURED BILL: ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR ALL

Nearly seven in 10 minimum wage workers [[link removed]] in North Carolina are women. These women earn just $2.13 an hour if they earn tips, and $7.25 otherwise.

To help increase their financial well-being, Rep. Harrison, along with her colleagues Reps. Fisher, Brown, and Baker, introduced the Economic Security for All [[link removed]] bill this May.

The bill [[link removed]] would raise the state's minimum wage to $15 and increase the tipped minimum wage, mandate equal pay for equal work, and require paid sick and family medical leave for employees. It also includes a host of other benefits [[link removed]] for North Carolina workers.

This is critical legislation that will help ensure working women can achieve economic security and can succeed in their careers and as caregivers.

In solidarity,

Pia Nargundkar
Communications Director
