Mike Gallagher on Social Security

	Mike Gallagher on Social Security

Preserve and protect our most effective anti-poverty program

My clear stance on Social Security: I am dedicated to preserving and protecting Social Security. Like over 50 million American senior citizens, my grandmothers and great uncle rely on Social Security each month and I've seen the importance of this program firsthand. This has been the most effective anti-poverty program in our nation's history and we must ensure it remains in place for generations to come.

Social Security is the single most important commitment we have made to our seniors and retirees and we must ensure it remains a secure economic safety-net for generations to come. As a Member of Congress:

I will work with leaders from both sides of the aisle to protect Social Security.
I will oppose efforts to privatize the system.
I will push Congress to stop ignoring this critical issue before it's too late.
