2024 WV Senate race: on Social Security


Alex Mooney: Reform Social Security to prevent insolvency & tax increases

Mooney understands the need to protect Social Security, which is on track to be insolvent by 2035, resulting in an estimated 25% decrease in benefits for recipients. Congress must act to ensure Social Security never gets to that point. Mooney is committed to working together in a bipartisan fashion to accomplish reforms to our critical Medicare and Social Security programs. By doing so, we can prevent future program insolvency, or emergency tax and spending increases to fully fund these programs.

Glenn Elliott: Oppose any attempts to undermine these critical programs

Our seniors, who have given their best years to building a brighter future for us all, deserve to retire with the dignity and security they have earned. Yet, today, they face an uncertain future as the pillars of Social Security and Medicare show signs of strain. In the Senate, I will oppose any attempts to undermine these critical programs and will work tirelessly to improve and expand them by making sure they have sustainable funding sources.
