Letter: Herrera Beutler safeguards seniors

By Julie Hess, Ridgefield
Published: October 20, 2020, 6:00am

Jaime Herrera Beutler has been a defender of retirees and senior citizens.

Despite what the election year antics say, she has always protected Social Security and Medicare. In fact, she’s been a staunch critic of her opponent’s plan to raid Medicare’s finances to put young, healthy people on the program. Seniors have spent their whole lives paying into it, it should be there for them when they retire.

Jaime has also increased funding for Meals on Wheels and other important nutrition programs that help feed so many residents here.

Nobody does more to safeguard our seniors than our current congresswoman, Jaime Herrera Beutler.
