Understand this: Social
Security and Medicare are on the ballot.
I’m running for re-election to protect and strengthen these bedrock
government promises — and I’m not alone. Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and
Democrats in Congress are in this fight too.
Let’s start with Social Security. Even though it is a lifeline for
millions, seniors are still struggling with rising costs. So we can’t just
protect benefits — we should increase them, too.
I’ve introduced a bill that would EXPAND Social Security benefits by
$2,400 a year and fully fund the program all the way to 2096. How? By
making the wealthy pitch in a fair share, so everyone can retire with
dignity.
Moving over to Medicare: when Democrats had the House, Senate, and White
House, we strengthened Medicare by lowering drug costs for seniors —
allowing the government to negotiate for lower prices, capping insulin at
$35 a month, and limiting out-of-pocket prescription costs to $2,000 a
year.
Now Kamala Harris has a plan to extend those cost caps to all Americans —
including $35/month insulin across the board — while expanding Medicare’s
power to negotiate lower drug prices. She also has a proposal to cover
home-based care under Medicare, which would be truly life-changing for
generations and generations of families.
On the other side, we’ve got the GOP.
J.D. Vance once called Social Security and Medicare “the biggest
roadblocks to any kind of real fiscal sanity.”
Donald Trump proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare in every single
one of his White House budgets.
Project 2025 lays out a plan to end Medicare’s drug-price negotiations and
undo the caps on out-of-pocket prescription costs.
And Congressional Republicans have kept rolling out new ideas to put
Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, including by raising
the Social Security retirement age.
You know, I just have to say — here’s what I think whenever someone
suggests raising the retirement age: there’s someone who didn’t work
construction all their life. Who didn’t carry little kids around as a
preschool teacher. Who didn’t help patients in and out of beds as a nurse.
There’s someone we can’t trust to have seniors’ best interests at heart.

and strengthen vital programs like Social Security and Medicare, please
chip in any amount to my re-election campaign — every dollar can make a
difference in these final days.

No matter how many pretty promises Republican politicians make to try to
win this election, we can’t trust them to protect Social Security and
Medicare.
After all, the GOP is hyper-focused on handing more tax breaks to
billionaires and giant corporations.
That’s the first part of the classic Republican two-step. First, they
slash taxes for the rich while playing dumb about the deficit. “Deficit?
What deficit? Tax breaks for the wealthy will pay for themselves!” (Oh,
please. As if they were sprinkling fairy dust on the yacht economy, or
planting magic beans on Wall Street.)
Second, after their fairy tale doesn’t come true and — surprise, surprise
— they’ve blown up the deficit, they can say, “Oh, we now realize that the
deficit exists! It’s time to pay for those tax breaks by cutting Social
Security and Medicare.” It’s a scam. And we’re not falling for it.
They try to make it seem like we don’t have a choice. But of course we do.
Of course we can stick to our values and keep our promises.
This all comes down to a basic question: who should our government work
for?
According to Republican politicians, it’s the rich and powerful.
Not if we have anything to say about it, though.
We are fighting to put Washington on the side of working people — and make
it possible for every American to retire with dignity and get the care
they need.
But to make our plans a reality, we’ve got to hold the White House, flip
the House, and protect our Democratic Senate majority — which means
winning our race in Massachusetts.
[ [link removed] ]I will do everything in my power to prevent Republicans from gutting
Social Security and Medicare. Part of that work is keeping our Senate
majority. Can you chip in
$28 or any
amount to fuel our fight in the last critical days of this election
season?
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
