Protecting Social Security and Medicare

Protecting Social Security & Medicare

For decades, Central Virginia’s workers have paid into the Social Security and Medicare programs with the understanding that they were paying for retirement security later in life. I am wholly committed to protecting these programs and making sure they receive the urgent attention they deserve — especially at a time when many of my colleagues would like to gut these programs. I oppose any attempts to privatize these systems or to cut benefits. I am committed to ensuring their solvency and viability, and I will keep working to protect Social Security and Medicare, as well as expanding Medicare benefits, so we can meet our obligations to seniors, now and long into the future.
Key Actions
  • Joined a bipartisan effort calling for congressional action to make sure Social Security remains solvent for future generations of workers and retirees
  • Cosponsored and voted for the Butch Lewis Act, legislation to stabilize multiemployer pensions plans and prevent cuts to thousands of Virginians’ retirement savings
  • Voted to expand Medicare coverage for vision, hearing, and dental for low-income Medicare beneficiaries
  • Voted in support of the SECURE Act, which would make it easier for small businesses to offer retirement plans to employees and for Central Virginia workers to escalate their retirement savings
  • Spoke out against a topline budget from the administration that would have slashed Medicare funding by hundreds of billions of dollars
