June 12, 2014 Brat Unsure About Minimum Wage; Dem. Opponent is Faculty Colleague ------------------------------------------------------------------- In one of his first interviews since his upset victory over Cantor, David Brat refused to tell MSNBC whether he supports a federal minimum wage. Chuck Todd: "Should there be a minimum wage, in your opinion?" David Brat: "I don't have a well-crafted response on that one." Brat is an economics professor at Virginia's Randolph-Macon College, a small liberal arts school. His Democratic opponent is Jack Trammell, who happens to be a professor there, as well. .
