2018 Midterm Election Events in Washington State

The 2018 elections are some of the most important in our lifetimes. Issues like Medicare, Social Security, prescription drugs, family caregiving, age discrimination, and Medicaid are on the line.

Americans 50 and older are the nation’s most powerful voting bloc. We need to hold politicians accountable and make them pay attention to the issues that matter to 50+ Americans.

• Medicare is a deal that must not be broken. We must keep the promise of affordable quality health care for seniors.
• Social Security: You work hard and pay into Social Security with every paycheck. We must keep Social Security strong so current and future generations get the benefits they’ve earned.
• Rx: There is no reason why Americans should continue to pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. No one should have to choose between food and medicine.
• Family Caregiving: More than 40 million Americans care for older parents, spouses, children and adults with disabilities and other loved ones, helping them to live independently in their homes and communities—where they want to be.
