Issue Position: Our Seniors

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

In New Mexico, we value family and our veterans. Our families are multi-generational and we are blessed when we can always return to our parents homes and our abuelos' values. While our veterans have served our nation. These folks are important to our community and remain integral to our families success. Our veterans have stood for our nation. Our seniors have been there for us. It's time we stand for them.

End the Social Security Tax and Veterans' Benefits -- We must change the tax code to end the unfair taxes on our seniors and veterans. New Mexico has the second-highest taxation on social security benefits in the nation. Our seniors should not be paying for our state's well being.
Lower Prescription Drug Costs -- Whether it's seniors accessing their monthly drugs or children that need insulin to survive, we must fight to ensure all families can afford the healthcare they need for their well-being.
Governor's Senior Trust Fund -- All seniors deserve to have access to resources that help them thrive whether they live in Park Plazas or La Cienega. We must make sure that our seniors can live well, without physical abuse or monetary scams.
