Endorsed by National Committee to Preserve Social Security

Kathy Hochul is the only candidate in this race to be endorsed by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare, a non-partisan, multi-million member organization that fights to ensure the survival of Social Security and Medicare.

Their endorsement:"We enthusiastically endorse Kathy Hochul's candidacy. Hochul understands and supports the critical roles that Social Security and Medicare play in the retirement and health security of our nation's older citizens and their families. We have no doubt she is well-prepared to serve the needs of seniors and will make the preservation of Social Security and Medicare a priority in office."

Hochul says, "With their backing, we will fight the Republican budget that aims to decimate Medicare and any Republican efforts to privatize Social Security. I will stop at nothing to protect the guarantees we've made to our seniors over the last 76 years."
