Hi John,
Over the past month and a half, we’ve heard from thousands of folks from across our district who are alarmed and appalled by Elon Musk’s destructive influence in Washington. He has been empowered by President Trump to take a chainsaw to vital federal programs and departments—
and now, Musk is coming after Social Security.
Check out the latest from Joe below, and then chip in a few bucks to help our team stay strong and organized ahead of our first quarterly FEC deadline later this month.

Hi John,
The workers for our federal Social Security Administration are dedicated public servants who are committed to folks who need their assistance. I’ve seen how these folks work tirelessly every day to assist seniors, children, widows, people with disabilities, and others to ensure they get the help they need. But now, “First Jerk” Elon Musk is targeting this vital federal institution, calling it “a Ponzi scheme”, and proposing huge cuts.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Social Security is funded by all of us who earn a paycheck: you can see that 6% tax right on your paystub. Upon hitting retirement age, those funds that have been put in are paid out.
That’s not an “entitlement”—that’s your money!
It is absolutely outrageous that Elon Musk has been given this kind of power, and we must hold him accountable. We’re facing our first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline at the end of the month: can you please chip in a few dollars today to help me keep up the fight?

Protecting Social Security is a solemn duty, and I will always stand up for this critical program. It’s helped Americans for 90 years, and we must ensure Social Security remains strong for future generations.
Thank you,
Joe Courtney
