Retiree Group Endorses Nikki Budzinski for Reelection to U.S. House

Cites Her Commitment to Strengthening Earned Social Security and Medicare Benefits

Springfield, IL – Members of the Alliance for Retired Americans proudly announced their endorsement of Rep. Nikki Budzinski for reelection to the U.S. House from Illinois’s 13th Congressional District (CD) today. The Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans is a grassroots advocacy organization with more than 23,000 members in the 13th CD.

“Rep. Budzinski has already proven as a member of the U.S. House that she will look out for Illinois seniors. She has earned a 100% pro-retiree score in the Alliance’s annual congressional voting record,” said Don Todd, President of the Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans. “We trust her to work to strengthen our hard earned Social Security and Medicare benefits. She knows that almost 2.3 million people in Illinois rely on Social Security benefits every month. With another term, Nikki will continue the fight for our earned benefits for current and future generations.”

“Hard work should always pay off,” said Nikki Budzinski. “I’m proud to be endorsed by the Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans as we fight to ensure that everyone can retire with dignity. With their support, I look forward to continuing my efforts in Congress to protect the hard-earned Social Security and Medicare benefits that our seniors have paid into throughout their careers.”

In addition, Mr. Todd praised Rep. Budzinski’s support for allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices to lower costs.

“The stakes couldn’t be higher for seniors like me. We need Nikki Budzinski in the House fighting against any Republican plan to cut Social Security and Medicare,” added Mr. Todd. “That’s why reelecting Nikki Budzinski is the best choice for Illinois seniors.”
