Seniors
Seniors contribute so much to our communities. They shouldn’t have to worry about paying basic living expenses. But some in Washington want to threaten the services and programs that help our seniors the most.
In Congress, I’m working to protect and expand Social Security benefits for seniors to ensure they can maintain a good quality of life. I’m also using my position to advocate for the stability of Medicare, and for solutions to lower prescription drug costs that burden so many in our elderly community.
I’ll make sure my votes in Congress ensure anyone can retire with dignity after a long life spent contributing to our country and community.
