Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Oregonians
Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, the extreme MAGA Republicans supporting Monique DeSpain are trying to cut Oregon seniors’ hard-earned benefits.
During this Congress, House Republicans pushed for $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.
DeSpain proudly admitted that she is running to serve as a “reinforcement” for MAGA Republicans in Congress. It is clear that her interests lie with the far-right Republicans fighting to curb worker’s rights and take away the benefits seniors’ have earned, in order to support further tax cuts for the ultra rich.
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 Justin Chermol:
“Monique DeSpain won’t stand up for Oregon’s seniors because she is all in on the extreme MAGA Republican plan to cut Social Security and deny seniors their hard-earned benefits. Voters in Oregon can see past DeSpain’s efforts to hide her extremism and will reject her dangerous agenda in November.”
