Crazy Eight PAC

If you work full time,
you should not be poor.

Congress keeps blocking a living wage. We're targeting the 8 members who vote against working Americans — and we're making sure their constituents know exactly where they stand.

About Us

We believe the system is rigged.

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009. That's not an accident — it's a choice. A choice made by Congress members who are paid $174,000 a year to represent us.

The Crazy Eight PAC is a grassroots-funded effort to expose the legislators who block every living wage bill that comes their way, and to support the candidates who will actually fight for working people.

If you work 40 hours a week, you should not be poor. That's not a radical idea — it's basic dignity.

The Ads We're Running

Latest Ad
"$7.25"

We ran this ad across 6 swing districts to show voters exactly how many times their representative has voted against raising the minimum wage — and what it costs their neighbours.

2025
"Forty Hours"

A worker clocks 40 hours a week. Pays taxes. Does everything right. And still can't make rent. This is the reality our targets have chosen to protect. We played this in 4 states — and it landed.

2024
"The Math Doesn't Work"

We ran the numbers on what $7.25/hr actually buys in 2024 — rent, groceries, healthcare — and the answer is: not much. This ad reached over 2 million voters in key districts.
