Joe Courtney on Social Security

Democrat

Oppose any plan that jeopardizes or privatizes the system

Joe Courtney will make protecting Social Security his top priority. He'll oppose any plan that jeopardizes the Social Security Trust Fund, or privatizes the system to put seniors' retirement savings into the unpredictable stock market. Shoring up Social Security now will avoid a crushing burden on our children and grandchildren. Courtney signed the Campaign for America's Future Pledge to protect Social Security against schemes to place the program at risk through privatization.
