2024 MD Senate race: on Social Security


David Trone: Cosponsored bill to keep social security trust fund solvent

Maryland Congressman David Trone was joined by Connecticut U.S. Representative John Larson about legislation to keep the social security trust fund solvent, and then some. Both lawmakers are behind a bill to fortify the federal program giving seniors income stability in their retirement years and affordable health benefits. "Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security--Congressman Larsen has a phenomenal bill that will fix Social Security for the next 75 years," said Trone.

Angela Alsobrooks: Opposes defunding or privatizing Social Security, Medicare

Angela will advocate for the protection and preservation of Social Security and Medicare. She views these programs as a promise made to seniors and firmly opposes any efforts to defund or privatize them. Angela strongly stands against raising the retirement age or cutting benefits for either program. Additionally, she advocates for eliminating the payroll cap on Social Security taxes to ensure the long-term solvency of the program.
