Eighty-nine years after it was established, Social Security is bringing dignity and peace of mind to Iowans
Eighty-nine years after Social Security was created, Zach Nunn and his Republican colleagues are trying to cut Iowa seniors' hard-earned benefits.
In Congress, Nunn has endorsed $1.5 trillion in cuts to Social Security, including raising the retirement age and cutting disability benefits. He voted repeatedly to jeopardize these programs, including voting to shutter or cut hours for 240 Social Security field offices and making it harder for seniors to access services.
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 Mallory Payne:
"Zach Nunn won't stand up for Iowa's seniors because he is all in on DC politicians' plans to cut Social Security and deny seniors their hard-earned benefits. Voters will make sure to reject Nunn's dangerous agenda."
