Sherrod Brown says raising the federal minimum wage will be a ”tough sell” on Capitol Hill with special interest groups against it, but the U.S. senator is going to ”make the fight” to see an increase from the $7.25 an hour it’s at now.

The Democrat on Monday brought his message in the push to raise the minimum wage above $10 an hour to Boardman at the Yankee Kitchen, where he urged for the passage of a bill that will incrementally raise the rate over the next two years.
