On Social Security Anniversary, Social Security Works PAC Endorses Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for U.S. Senate
Miami, FL – Today, on the anniversary of Social Security, Social Security Works PAC joined countless organizations, leaders, and advocates in endorsing Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for U.S. Senate.
“As the President of Social Security Works PAC, I am incredibly proud to throw our full support behind Debbie Mucarsel-Powell,” said Jon “Bowzer” Bauman, President of Social Security Works PAC. “Rick Scott is a thief who came up with a specific plan to end Social Security and Medicare as we know them. Rick Scott presided over the biggest Medicare fraud in history when he was CEO of Columbia/HCA. In the Senate, he voted against Medicare negotiating for lower drug costs, against $35 insulin, and he has a 0% rating from the Alliance for Retired Americans in 2023. On the other hand, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell has pledged to protect and expand Social Security and Medicare and will fight to lower drug prices for Floridians. There is only one candidate in this race who can be trusted to stand up for seniors, and it’s Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.”
“I am incredibly honored to earn the support of Social Security Works PAC,” said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. “As the primary caretaker for my mother, I know firsthand what a critical lifeline Medicare and Social Security is for our seniors. While Rick Scott wrote the plan to defund Medicare and Social Security, I’ve worked my entire career to protect seniors’ earned benefits. Allowing Rick Scott to gut these bedrock programs and send senior poverty rates skyrocketing is not an option, and if elected, I will keep working to strengthen Social Security and Medicare.”
