Issue Position: Retirement Security

Issue Position

With many in the baby boom generation set to retire in the next few years, Social Security and other retirement plans will face strains like never before. I believe that some modifications to Social Security are necessary to keep the program solvent and able to provide retired Americans with the benefits they have earned. I support proposals to fully fund Social Security and will strongly oppose attempts to privatize the program. Furthermore, as a Member of the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions, I will work to protect and strengthen the pension plans of America's workers.

Eastern Connecticut is home to thousands of retirees and elderly residents. I value the opportunity I have to protect their interests in Congress and will continue to work hard to advocate on their behalf.
