Are Candidates in Kansas Listening to You?

Are candidates listening to voters 50+? Do they understand their concerns? We’ve heard from

thousands of people: Telling us about their day-to-day lives. Sharing about

the stress they feel about the future. They are unable to save enough for retirement--or

dipping into nest eggs just to pay for everyday expenses. Many Kansans have had to pay

thousands out of their own pockets to care for their loved ones while also juggling jobs, often

without paid leave.

Voters 50+ have a lot on their plates--and are feeling invisible and ignored. Here in Kansas, we

know many older Kansans are worried about rising costs for basic needs like food, gas and

medication.

Linda from Kansas:
"Our income stays the same, but basics - food, fuel and utilities - have all risen drastically"

With just weeks left until the midterm election, it’s more urgent than ever for candidates to

listen to this powerful constituency--to understand what it’s like to walk in their shoes--and

focus on the issues that matter to them.

50+ voters here in Kansas will decide this election and they're looking for candidates who will

listen. Politicians ignore them at their own risk. Tell candidates about what it’s like to walk in

your shoes. Visit aarp.org/inmyshoes today.
