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 Wyomingites 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[State], we know many older [Stateians]are worried about rising costs for basic needs like food, gas and medication.

"I have worked my whole life and will have to continue working," says Betty from Wyoming.

"Everyday people still have bills, medicine, and food to buy," adds Margaret from Wyoming.

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 Wyoming 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.
