As a strong, nonpartisan advocate for social change at the local, state and national levels, AARP Advocacy fights for issues that matter to the more than 100 million Americans over age 50, their families, and society, including leading efforts to strengthen and protect Social Security. In Maine, more than 360,000 individuals benefit from this remarkable program.
Jessica Linzer Simpson, 72, of Cape Elizabeth, spent her career helping people access their Social Security benefits, first as a claims representative and later as an adjudicator handling complex cases and training new employees.
When Paul Armstrong, 64, first became an AARP advocacy volunteer nearly a decade ago, he was shocked that members of the public could be in the state Senate chamber “right on the floor” during the proceedings.
AARP is fighting to save you money on your utility bills. Electricity rates are an essential pocketbook issue for Maine residents 50-plus and their families, many of whom struggle to pay their utility bills along with other household expenses like food and medicine. Here you will find the latest updates and information. Would you like to join our efforts and volunteer with us? We would love to hear from you! Send an email to me@aarp.org to learn more.
