Billie Sutton:
Find ways to prioritize care for our elders in our budget
We'll need to think creatively about ways to offer services and find ways to prioritize care for our elders in our budget. We need to expand our investment in services that can help South Dakotans stay in their homes longer, including better
reimbursement for providers of home care services and community-based elder care options. We need to ensure our existing elder care infrastructure is preserved through adequate reimbursement for nursing homes and assisted living providers.

Jay Williams:
Eliminate taxable maximum of $118,500
Social Security is a program designed to make sure that, after paying their fair share, individuals can retire with dignity. Right now, if you make more than $118,500 each year, any additional income is not taxed for Social Security.
In order to ensure that Social Security is sustainable for future generations, we should eliminate this taxable maximum of $118,500, and have those who are the most able to contribute, pay their fair share.

Rick Weiland:
Protect and expand instead of cut and destroy
Q: How would you protect Social Security for today's seniors and strengthen it for future generations?A: Rick Weiland told voters that 'protect and expand,' not, 'cut and destroy,' are the words we should be using when we talk about Social Security.
In the polls about 90% support requiring the super-rich to contribute to Social Security based on their entire income, just like most
South Dakotans do. "So 9 out of 10 Americans say protect Social Security by making the wealthy pay like the rest of us.
We can take back our Congress and protect our Social Security, or we can let the big money Congress cheat us again."
