AARP Connecticut will work with lawmakers during the state’s 2022 legislative session to support and advocate on a variety of important policies and issues that affect residents and their families.
AUSTIN, Texas — AARP Texas Director Tina Tran issued the following statement in response to reports of widespread rejections of mail-in ballot applications in advance of the March 1 Texas Primary election:
The state General Assembly made changes to voting rules last year, and AARP wants voters to know what to expect when they prepare to cast ballots in the primary election on Tuesday, May 17.
A new AARP survey of voters ages 25+ found an overwhelming majority (92%) agree that elected officials should support legislation that makes it easier for all workers to save for retirement from their paycheck. Further, 91% of voters support establishing a program if their employer does not currently offer them a way to save. More than 50 million American workers have no access to a retirement savings plan through their employers and more than a quarter (26%) of non-retired people have no retirement savings. On November 9 AARP Minnesota, Black Women’s Wealth Alliance, Bridgemakers, and Youthprise are joining forces to host a panel discussion on the challenges four generations – Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers – face while saving for their futures.
Overall, 56 percent of registered voters 50 and over say that will support Murphy for a second term, compared with just 31 percent who say that they will back Ciattarelli; the remainder say they will vote for someone else, no one, or they just don’t know yet.
Majorities of voters over 50 are uncertain of their own retirement and support the rapid rollout of the state’s new retirement savings plan for private-sector workers
