Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Californians
Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, Matt Gunderson and his far-right Republican friends are trying to cut California 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.
REMINDER: When Gunderson was campaigning in Wisconsin, he advocated for gutting Social Security. He also made it clear that he’d make it harder for seniors to get their hard-earned benefits – even claiming seniors needed to “share the pain” of our economy.
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 Dan Gottlieb:
“Matt Gunderson won’t stand up for California’s seniors because he is all in on House Republicans’ plans to cut Social Security and deny seniors their hard-earned benefits. Voters will make sure to reject Gunderson’s dangerous agenda.”
