ALLENTOWN, PA – Today, on the 89th anniversary of the Social Security Act being signed into law, the Alliance for Retired Americans announced their endorsement of Congresswoman Susan Wild’s re-election campaign in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. The Alliance represents 350,000 retired people in Pennsylvania and 4.4 million members nationwide.
“It is an honor to receive the endorsement of an organization whose values I keep at the forefront of my work,” said Congresswoman Susan Wild. “In Congress, I’ve been able to protect and expand access to programs like Medicare and Social Security, for the seniors across my district who rely on those lifelines every day. If elected to another term, I’ll continue to fight tooth and nail to make sure that no one threatens my constituents’ hard earned benefits.”
“Seniors know that in Representative Wild, we have a friend we can count on to protect, strengthen and increase our hard-earned Social Security and Medicare benefits,” said Jody Weinreich, Vice President of the Pennsylvania Alliance. “Our members also support her candidacy because of her belief in affordable health care — including lower drug prices — pension security, and quality long-term care.”
“The stakes couldn’t be higher for retirees like me,” Weinreich added. “We need Susan Wild in the House fighting against any Republican plan to cut Social Security and Medicare. Reelecting Susan Wild is clearly the best choice for Lehigh Valley seniors.”
Rep. Wild has made protecting Social Security and Medicare a critical component of her legislative agenda, and has consistently worked to lower health care costs for Pennsylvania’s working families and seniors. Ryan Mackenzie, on the other hand, has supported efforts that would put funding for Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block every single year.
