Yesterday in Hopewell Junction, we put Social Security where it belongs: at the center of the conversation with voters. 🗳️ New Yorkers deserve to know where candidates stand on protecting and strengthening the Social Security they’ve earned. The challenges are real but solvable

Social Security is a critical lifeline that millions count on. All Americans deserve to be able to count on it as well. Today, and in the future. There are plenty of ways Congress can responsibly and effectively strengthen Social Security. Without cuts. Without pritivatizing.
