1.10.2: Congressional Pay

Impose a three-year freeze on Member pay.

Other Information:

Unlike most Americans, members of Congress benefit from an automatic salary increase every single year – deserved or not. Before Congress can ask the American people to sacrifice, it should lead by example. The Commission recommends an immediate three-year salary freeze for all members of Congress.
