Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Virginians
Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, Jen Kiggans and her Republican colleagues are trying to cut Virginia seniors’ hard-earned benefits.
During this Congress, House Republicans have endorsed $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age and cutting disability benefits.
Additionally, House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee voted to cut nearly half a billion dollars from the Social Security Administration, which would close field offices, extend wait times, and delay disability claims nationwide.
80% of voters oppose plans to cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age, and 81% oppose any cuts to retirement programs.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“Jen Kiggans won’t stand up for Virginia’s seniors because she is all in on House Republicans’ plans to cut Social Security and deny seniors their hard-earned benefits. Voters will make sure to reject Kiggans’ dangerous agenda.”
