As we celebrate the 88th anniversary of Social Security becoming law, I'm reminded of Democrats' work putting people over politics.
Just one week into the 2023 Congress, Kevin McCarthy and his allies threatened to cut Social Security benefits in budget negotiations. They've used our most vulnerable people, seniors and disabled Americans, as a bargaining chip to cut spending.
Cuts to Social Security would be devastating for the more than 66 million Americans who rely on its vital services. With so many Americans relying on Social Security, Democrats won't stand down in its defense.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
