Blasts opponent for voting to raise taxes on Social Security
[Twitter posting by Bob Hugin]: @SenatorMenendez voted to raise taxes on Social Security & he abused his power to help his 'best friend' Melgen, who ran a fraud scheme that stole millions from

David Baria:
Work hard to protect people's Social Security benefits
It's #OlderAmericansMonth and I'm reminded how important Social Security is to many of our family, friends and neighbors.
1 in 5 Mississippi residents are receiving Social Security benefits. I will do everything in my power to protect this crucial safety net.

Joe Morelle:
Will not support cutting Medicare & Social Security benefits
I hear from so many seniors throughout our community who are worried about Donald Trump's continued efforts to slash medicare and cut social security.
In Congress, I will fight back and work to ensure seniors have the essential supports and protections they deserve.

Allen Waters:
Democrats should stop the lies about Social Security and GOP
Democratic candidates for Congress in RI CD1 should stop the lies about Social Security and Republicans.
What we need to do is to work with the GOP in a bipartisan manner to keep #SocialSecurity solvent. Using fear tactics is bad politics.

Chase Oliver:
Allow opt out right now; then close up shop responsibly
X posting: "Social security? I say it's time to close up shop and do things differently, and in a way that will BENEFIT the everyday person."X video excerpt: We can have two options: we can have a world where younger workers, like myself, pay into
the Social Security system, and don't get any benefits when we're older. Or you can give us a system where we can opt out right now. Leave the employer contribution for our parents and grandparents to keep them going.
And then--guess what?--we can put our money into a mutual fund, save it. And have a much better retirement--and still not get any Social Security benefits.
What I want to do is keep the system solvent long enough for people who are at or near retirement to be able to do so. And then completely eliminate the system altogether. And never ever bring it back. We have to close up shop in a responsible way.
