Tim Griffin on Social Security

 

 


No privatization; no raising retirement age

I am committed to saving social security and keeping the promise America has made to our seniors. As a result, I oppose raising the retirement age and raising taxes on our seniors. As your next Congressman, I will lead the effort for common sense, bi-partisan solutions and will work across the aisle to ensure current and future retirees have the security they were promised. I oppose the privatization of Social Security.
