NEW YORK CITY — Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to tackle income inequality on a national level, using methods he’s already applied in New York City, such as universal pre-K, he announced Tuesday.

The mayor is traveling the country to build support for his 13-point plan, called “The Progressive Agenda,” which looks to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour, and bring paid sick and family leave reform laws to cities across the country.
