Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet has not signed on as a co-sponsor to Democrats' Raise the Wage Act, but he does call for raising the minimum wage on his campaign website. A senior campaign official confirmed to POLITICO that Bennet supports raising the federal minimum wage to $12 per hour and "encouraging higher-cost cities and states to increase to $15 based on what makes sense for their local economic conditions." Bennet agrees with raising the federal minimum wage to $15 over time, but "at a rate that won’t jeopardize jobs in lower-cost rural areas or struggling cities," according to the official.
