WASHINGTON, DC (AARP) – AARP volunteers and staff from North Dakota are descending on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.
AARP North Dakota will meet directly with North Dakota’s members of Congress, Sen. John Hoeven, Sen. Kevin Cramer and Rep. Julie Fedorchak, to urge action on critical issues, including protecting Social Security, strengthening support for the nation’s 48 million family caregivers, and defending Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
“Every time we come to Capitol Hill, we bring the power of our members with us,” Josh Askvig, AARP ND State Director. “Today, we’re amplifying the voices of the thousands of North Dakotans age 50+ who expect action on what matters most: protecting Social Security, supporting family caregivers, and defending critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP.”
