SUMMARY

Voters districtwide need to see on broadcast and streaming platforms that: 

• Social Security and Medicare are promises we need to keep, that’s why Nikki cosponsored legislation to ensure all workers get the Social Security benefits they earned and paid for with every paycheck. And she’s making it easier for people on Medicare to receive medications by mail.
• Nikki is bringing supply chains home from China and ran the federal Made In America office to make sure our taxes go toward making things here, not China
• Nikki sponsored legislation to create job training programs, help veterans get STEM jobs, and create opportunities for workers without college degrees
