McDonald’s franchise owners target Democrats who supported California’s minimum wage hike

McDonald’s franchise owners in California are targeting Democrats who supported a bill to give fast food workers higher wages and set new working conditions.

The McDonald’s California Operators PAC is a major contributor to the California Alliance of Family Owned Businesses PAC, which has been running negative ads against Democratic Assemblymen Chris Holden of Pasadena and Kevin McCarty of Sacramento. Holden and McCarty supported a bill that made fast food workers in California earn some of the highest minimum wages in the nation.
