Ryan Zinke Continues to Threaten Cuts to Social Security

Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Montanans

Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, Ryan Zinke is trying to cut Montana seniors’ hard-earned benefits.

This Congress, Zinke endorsed $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age and cutting disability benefits.

Additionally, Zinke 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 Mallory Payne:
“Ryan Zinke won’t stand up for Montana’s seniors because he is all in on DC politicians’ plans to cut Social Security and deny seniors their hard-earned benefits. Voters will make sure to reject Zinke’s dangerous agenda.”
