Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler | Representing Southwest Washington's 3rd District

Millions of Americans who are retired or near retirement are counting on a promise made by the U.S. government that Social Security will be there for them.  I will work to make sure Social Security is funded so that we can keep that promise.  Privatizing Social Security is not an option and I do not support it.  

The real threat to Social Security is overspending by politicians in Washington, DC.  For years, they have taken money from the Social Security trust fund and left nothing but I.O.U.’s.  

It is my job to help stop the overspending in other areas of government, so that we can put Social Security back on steady financial ground and keep our promises to those who depend on this program.
