Social Security CAN'T CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE PENNY TO THE DEBT. But Republicans are trying to create a closed door commission to cut our hard-earned benefits. Instead, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES!

IF SOCIAL SECURITY IS ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES DRIVING YOUR VOTE THIS ELECTION…
A graphic with stars, stripes, and two people voting at the polls. The text says, "REMINDER: In just five years, Congress will have to either take action or allow a 22% Social Security benefit cut to go into effect. U.S. SENATORS ELECTED THIS YEAR WILL VOTE ON SOCIAL SECURITY’S FUTURE."

It’s no wonder―the Senators who win next Tuesday’s elections will still be in office when Social Security’s trust fund is exhausted, and Congress has to choose between taxing the rich or letting a 22% across-the-board benefit cut take effect.

Social Security is on the ballot. 80 percent of Americans want to make the wealthy pay their fair share — and so do candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, and Troy Jackson.

Why Social Security could become a major issue for the senators elected in 2026

The senators elected this year could play a key role in Social Security’s future as the program approaches a critical funding deadline in 2032.

James Talarico is a Social Security champion! This is exactly the kind of person we can trust to vote on Social Security's future in the Senate. @JamesTalarico
A graphic with a photo of James Talarico. The text says, "SOMEONE MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS STOPS PAYING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY IN JANUARY. ANY SERIOUS PROPOSAL TO STRENGTHEN SOCIAL SECURITY MUST INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT REQUIRE THE WEALTHIEST TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JAMES TALARICO PLANS TO DO."

Republican Aaron Flint is running for Montana’s first congressional district. Flint is running attack ads against @SamForstag, who supports bills that not only eliminate taxes on Social Security, but also extend the life of the program by decades and expand your benefits!

Gabe Evans (R CO-08) is terrible on seniors’ issues. His opponent, Democrat Manny Rutinel, is running to unseat Evans. As a Social Security champion, Manny will make sure that everyone can retire with dignity by making billionaires pay their fair share! @MannyRutinel

If a politician refuses to tell you their plan for Social Security, it's because their plan is to CUT YOUR BENEFITS.

🚨NEW AUDIO: John Sununu refused to give any specific policy proposals for protecting Social Security when asked. In office, Sununu repeatedly tried to privatize Social Security, selling NH seniors out to Wall Street. #NHPolitics #NHSen

Max Miller said people have been "using Social Security as a safety net when it was" never "supposed" to be one. My parents moved in with me because Social Security wasn't enough of a safety net. That's the difference in this race.

"Social Security is not a handout. It’s a promise that every American pays into so they can retire with dignity. The richest billionaires in the world don’t think you should get to retire after paying into Social Security your entire life, but I do." - @MannyRutinel

A campaign is as good as its activists. Here are the legendary Donna & Larry Smith with @MannyRutinel & me. Donna heads @SSW Mountain West & arranged for me to speak at yesterday’s @SEIU canvass launch & to intro Jason Crow, Michael Bennet & John Hickenlooper.

The two best looking guys in CO-08 & see if you can guess which one is House candidate @MannyRutinel. That one’s also a Colorado state rep who graduated from Yale. The other guy went to Columbia. Manny’s dynamic, smart &, well, young too! That’s a hint.

In 2018, when @RepJasonCrow first ran, I did an endorsement event for him at Windcrest Senior Living & hundreds showed up. I knew then he was a very special candidate who’s now become a superb House member. Great to see Jason yesterday @SEIU’s canvass launch for @MannyRutinel.
