NRSC Launches 7-State Ads Accusing Democrats of Backing Social Security Taxes

3 articles · Updated · National Republican Senatorial Committee · Aug 17

Summary

  • Seven Senate battlegrounds are getting new NRSC digital ads that accuse Democrats of supporting taxes on seniors’ Social Security benefits.
  • The campaign also says Democrats back taxes on workers’ tips and overtime pay, framing the issue as a broader tax increase on families, service workers and retirees.
  • Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola is featured in one ad, which says she opposed efforts to preserve “no tax on Social Security” and would leave seniors with less for groceries and healthcare.
  • North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia and New Hampshire are also in the ad buy, extending the message across key Senate races as Republicans press cost-of-living attacks.
