Support candidates who support Social Security, Medicare

I'm a senior whose earned benefits of Social Security and Medicare enable me to have an acceptable standard of living. I'm voting for U.S. Rep. Val Demings to be my senator and U.S. Rep. Al Lawson Jr. to be my voice in Congress because I know they will protect my benefits.

Sen. Marco Rubio is sponsoring a bill to overturn the law that enables Medicare to negotiate drug prices and cap insulin costs to $35 a month.

Congressman Neal Dunn has voted 'no' on every bill to help Florida seniors with Medicare and Social Security expenses.

If Republicans gain control of Congress, they have plans that could end Social Security and Medicare.

If seniors in Florida want to protect their Social Security and Medicare, they will vote for Val Demings for Senate and the Democrats running for Congress. For me it will be Al Lawson in Congressional District 2.

Dave Jacobsen, President, Florida AFSCME Retirees, Chapter 79, Tallahassee, FL
