Alliance for Retired Americans Endorse Menendez for Reelection

New Brunswick, NJ – After spending his entire public service career fighting to protect and expand Medicare and Social Security, U.S. Senator Bob Menendez proudly received the endorsement for reelection from the Alliance for Retired Americans.

“New Jersey seniors know that Sen. Menendez will protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare for current retirees and future generations,” said Richard Fiesta, Executive Director of the Alliance for Retired Americans.  “He has earned an impressive lifetime score of 92% in the Alliance’s Voting Record.”

“America’s safety net is under attack by the Trump administration, but I will continue to fight each and every day for the benefits that all hardworking Americans deserve,” Sen. Bob Menendez stated. “New Jersey voters understand that if we want an equal and dignified society and economy, we must build on these programs rather than cut off funding. I will ensure that happens.”
