While meeting with seniors in Davenport and Iowa City, Senator Harkin contrasts Braley's support for strengthening Social Security with proposals to privatize the crucial program

Davenport, IA -U.S. Senator Tom Harkin today met with seniors in Davenport and Iowa City to discuss Bruce Braley's proven record of protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicare. As Harkin detailed, Bruce Braley understands the importance of protecting the promise made to Iowa's seniors, and that is why he will fight to strengthen Social Security--so it can pay full benefits long into the future.

"Bruce Braley is a champion for seniors and ensuring that their retirement security is never gambled away with risky privatization schemes," said Harkin. "While he will work to strengthen Social Security for generations of Iowans to come, his opponent would put Iowans' earned benefits at risk. There's a clear choice in this election -Bruce Braley stands with Iowa seniors, while his opponent favors Wall Street and special interests."

Harkin's stops today were at The Good Samaritan Society in Davenport and The Hamburg Inn in Iowa City.
