Lori Chavez-DeRemer Continues to Threaten Cuts to Social Security

Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Oregonians

Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, Lori Chavez-DeRemer and her Republican colleagues are trying to cut Oregon seniors' hard-earned benefits.

During this Congress, House Republicans have endorsed $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age and cutting disability benefits.

Additionally, House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee voted to cut nearly half a billion dollars from the Social Security Administration, which would close field offices, extend wait times, and delay disability claims nationwide.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer herself even voted to cut access to Social Security and Medicare benefits.

80% of voters oppose plans to cut Social Security benefits by raising the retirement age, and 81% oppose any cuts to retirement programs.

DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
"Lori Chavez-DeRemer won't stand up for Oregon's seniors because she is all in on House Republicans' plans to cut Social Security and deny seniors their hard-earned benefits. Voters will make sure to reject Chavez-DeRemer's dangerous agenda."
