The National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare PAC, one of the nation’s premier organizations advocating for older adults, is proud to endorse Congressman Chris Pappas (D-NH) for United States Senate. Congressman Pappas understands that affordability is the most pressing issue facing Granite Staters, and that protecting and enhancing Social Security and Medicare will be essential in solving the cost-of-living crisis brought on by President Trump and his MAGA allies in Congress.
Congressman Pappas’ potential opponents have consistent track records attacking these crucial programs. John Sununu is a leader in the scheme to privatize Social Security, and Scott Brown was elected to office as an opponent of the Affordable Care Act. Thankfully, Pappas offers New Hampshire voters a stark contrast to his opponents’ dangerous agenda.
“Social Security and Medicare are essential promises to Americans that if you work hard and play by the rules, the benefits you’ve earned over a lifetime of hard work will be there,” said Congressman Pappas. “In Congress, I fought to strengthen Social Security benefits and took on Big Pharma to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors. I’m proud to have the support of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and I will continue fighting to protect these programs, strengthen benefits for seniors, and lower everyday costs.”
The National Committee supported Congressman Pappas when he first ran for Congress in 2018 and in the races that followed. Since taking office, he has been a proven champion for older Americans, earning a perfect 100% lifetime score on our congressional scorecard. In the House, he cosponsored the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act, which restored hard-earned Social Security benefits for public servants like firefighters and teachers.
The Senate soon will have to address the coming shortfall in Social Security’s trust funds, projected to occur in the early 2030s. To prevent a projected 20% reduction in benefits, we need Chris Pappas’ vote in the Senate to ensure that Social Security is strengthened – not cut – and that seniors do not bear the brunt of restoring the system to financial health. Electing pro-senior representation from New Hampshire will be vital to this mission, and Congressman Chris Pappas is the only candidate in this race who has earned that trust. – Max Richtman, National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare-PAC Board
