Update: Politicians I'm Following


John Lewis- (House of Rep.- D) - John Lewis has recently praise the SSA's announcement that they will grant a 3.5% COLA or cost-of-living adjustment to the beneficiaries of Social Security. Lewis commented on how necessary this was to the senior of his county and why it has been so long awaited.


Bob Casey- (Senate - D)- Recently Bob Casey has had a lot of activity, especially in the past week. Casey has supported many bills with topics such as: drug restrictions, job creation, pipeline safety, and much more.
Bob Casey also spoke out against Senator John McCain's proposed amendment that would have eliminated jobs. He said,  “Our workers and our companies need safeguards …. and that's one of the reasons why trade adjustment assistance is so important.”

  1. Democrats tend to be wary of "free trade" and will frequently argue for policies that support workers who may be negatively impacted by greater competition.
