John,

Mitch McConnell put Andrew Biggs’ name forward to serve as McConnell’s henchman on the Social Security Advisory Board.

Social Security Works immediately highlighted Biggs’ track record as an opponent of Social Security.

After all, Andrew Biggs:

Was instrumental in the Bush admin’s 2005 attempt to privatize Social Security
Advocated for raising the retirement age
Supports means-testing Social Security
Has dismissed the looming retirement income crisis as a “non issue”
And supported Donald Trump’s move to unilaterally defund Social Security

We’ve been putting pressure on Senators in the Finance Committee to block Biggs’ confirmation―and the pressure is working! Chairman Ron Wyden said:

Ohio’s Sherrod Brown doesn’t mince words:

Nearly 25,000 people have signed our petition calling on the Senate to reject Andrew Biggs’ nomination to the Social Security Advisory Board. Can you help us get to 50,000?

Social Security Works is running an aggressive lobbying strategy inside Washington―but it helps every time we can show that working people are watching this vote too.

Thank you for fighting with us,

Michael Phelan
Social Security Works
