Yesterday in Hopewell Junction, we put Social Security where it belongs: at the center of the conversation with voters. 🗳️ New Yorkers deserve to know where candidates stand on protecting and strengthening the Social Security they’ve earned. The challenges are real but solvable

🎂 Happy Birthday, Social Security! For #MySocialSecurityDay, take a moment to create/check your my Social Security account to verify records, estimate future payments and help protect against fraud. You've earned it. Know what you've earned. Learn more: AARP.org/MySSDay

🎉 New York's Age-Friendly movement is growing. Congrats to Avon, Champlain, Geddes, Johnstown, Lima, Patterson, South Bristol & Spring Valley for joining the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States & Communities. Together, we're building a more livable NY for people of all ages.

NEW: AARP NY/Siena Poll on #NY12 Primary 📊 Lasher 32% | Bores 21% | Conway 13% | Schlossberg 9%, among likely Dem primary voters 50+: With 21% undecided, older voters will decide this race. They expect action on affordability & retirement security.

🚨 Stop Crypto Kiosk Scams Now 🚨 @bethny: Scammers are weaponizing these machines to steal life savings in a matter of minutes. They are increasingly being used in scams that pressure consumers, especially older adults, into sending cash directly to criminals. (1/2)

More Access, More Adventure 🚣 Congrats to 2025 #AARPCommunityChallenge grantee Hudson Crossing Park on a new accessible kayak launch in Schuylerville, helping more people enjoy the water.

💙 Protecting Social Security & supporting caregivers can’t wait. Thank you, @RepLauraGillen, for affirming the importance of Social Security during #AARPOnTheHill & cosponsoring the Credit for Caring Act, which would provide financial relief to 4 million NY family caregivers.

📣 4,000+ letters are being delivered to @GovKathyHochul urging her to ✍️ SIGN the bill creating an Independent Utility Consumer Advocate to reform a broken @NYSDPS rate setting process.🧾 A.2468 must become law.⚖️ #FairRates

🙏 Thanks to @TULLYLAKE34, Russ Haven w/ @NYPIRG, Laurie Wheelock w/ @UtilityProject @NYSenator_JSS, and @JeffreyDinowitz,for fighting for consumers. 👥 New Yorkers need a voice — not just rising bills.

💰 Utilities spend nearly $20M/year on lawyers & consultants to push rate hikes — while consumers have no dedicated independent advocate.🔌 This bill would finally level the playing field.📉 It's about fairness, transparency, and affordability. #NYDeservesBetter

"We're really at a crisis point when it comes to energy affordability" testified @KristenMcManus on behalf of #AARPNY & New Yorkers. Over 1.2M households are behind on bills, yet the PSC rate-making process favors big energy over consumers.

Congratulations to Hudson, NY for becoming the 1,000th community in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities! 👏 A big win for livability, accessibility & aging in place: states.aarp.org/new-york/age… #AgeFriendly #HudsonNY #AARPNY

✨From Times Square to landmark light-ups, #AARPNY marked Social Security’s 90th — bold, bright & built to move. @AARP CEO Myechia Minter-Jordan joined members & volunteers to honor the past & protect its future. 🔗 aarp.org/NYss #SocialSecurityIs90 #WeEarnedIt
