John,
After Joe Biden’s landslide victory in the 2020 election, which swept Democrats into unified control of the federal government, Republican-controlled state legislatures are scrambling to re-draw their congressional maps to overrepresent Republican voters, and pushing voter suppression laws that will make it harder to vote in 2022.
But one thing could spoil Republican plans to rig future elections for themselves: Democrats reversing their decades-long slide with seniors.
Social Security Works’ seniors-focused campaigning played a large role in securing the Presidency for Joe Biden. We’re going to have to do even more to keep the House and Senate in the hands of Social Security champions in 2022. Become a member today!
For most of the 20th century, Democrats won seniors―but starting in 2004, they shifted decisively into the Republican column. Now, with Republican state legislators taking older Americans’ votes for granted, we have an opportunity to disrupt Republicans’ gerrymandering plans by swinging seniors back to the party that enacted Social Security and Medicare—and against the one that has repeatedly tried to destroy them.
Together, we saved Social Security from Donald Trump. Next, we’re going to save America from Republican legislators’ anti-democratic tactics.
Become a member of Social Security Works today and fund our campaigns to fight for older Americans! All it takes is a donation of $5 or more!
Thanks,
Michael Phelan Social Security Works
