Dear Baby Boomers, Your work mattered and you deserve security.

You paid into these programs your entire working life. They are not handouts, they are earned benefits. I will oppose any effort to cut or privatize Social Security or Medicare and fight to keep them strong for current and future retirees.

Every family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. I support strong, well-trained law enforcement that protects communities while maintaining accountability and trust. Safety and fairness should go hand in hand.

Our veterans kept their promise to this country. Our country must keep its promise to them. I will fight for better VA care, faster access to services, and stronger support for military families.

Communities need more housing options designed for seniors living on fixed incomes. Affordable senior housing allows older adults to downsize while staying close to the people and places they love. Aging with dignity should always include a safe place to call home.

Many seniors are being priced out of the communities they spent decades building. Rising property taxes and insurance costs are putting unnecessary pressure on retirees. We must protect seniors from being forced out of their homes.

No senior should have to choose between medication and groceries. Prescription drug prices and medical costs must be brought under control. We need transparency and accountability from pharmaceutical companies.

Millions of Americans will need long-term care as they age, yet the costs can be overwhelming. No American should lose everything they worked for just to afford basic care in their later years. We must make aging in place and quality care more accessible and affordable.

Americans work their entire lives to build retirement security. Reckless financial policies and corporate manipulation should never put those savings at risk. Retirement funds and pensions must be protected.

Too many politicians answer to lobbyists instead of the people. Corporate money and special interests have too much influence in Washington. I will work to restore integrity and accountability in government.
