Issue Position: Retiring with Dignity

Issue Position

Our seniors have earned Social Security and Medicare over their lifetime of hard work, and I will work to protect the economic security so many North Carolinians depend on. In Congress, I'll prioritize strengthening Social Security and will fight any attempt to turn Medicare into a voucher program. The next generation has many competing financial obligations and will benefit from stabilizing Medicare and Social Security. Tax cuts skewed to millionaires irresponsibly increases the deficit at a time when we need investments in retirement security for our seniors, health care, education, and infrastructure. I'll pursue a responsible budget in Congress that meets the needs of North Carolinians of every age and helps ensure a secure retirement for us all.
