AARP NH recently sponsored debates that aired on Binnie Media's Good Morning New Hampshire with moderator Jack Heath. He asked two AARP questions of the candidates.* Here are the answers from Republican Candidates Lily Tang Williams and Vikram Mansharamani and Democratic Canidates Maggie Goodlander and Colin Van Ostern about caregiving.
CAREGIVING: 48 million Americans help their loved ones each day to remain independent in their homes and communities. These family caregivers sacrifice time and money and provide $600 billion annually in unpaid support. How would you help family caregivers?

SOCIAL SECURITY: The Social Security Trust Fund is expected to see a shortfall in 10 years. If Congress doesn’t act, millions of Americans who are counting on Social Security will see cuts to the money they’ve earned. Do you see a path for Congress to work on a bipartisan solution to protect Social Security for those who have earned it?
