The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today released its latest television advertisement in New York’s 1st Congressional District, exposing Lee Zeldin’s reckless record on Social Security. The ad features testimonials from Long Island seniors who say Zeldin shouldn’t get their vote because he said he would privatize Social Security – putting their retirement in the hands of the same banks that crashed the economy. The ad begins running on cable today.
