Candidate positionRepublicans have passed senseless and cruel cuts that will take away health care for seniors, children, families, disabled, and the most vulnerable Americans. They are gutting the Social Security Administration and laying off workers who help veterans receive the benefits they have earned. All to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Congressman Kennedy will never stop standing up against these dangerous and reckless policies that hurt our community. He will continue fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – and supports strengthening these programs to make health care more affordable and accessible for all Western New Yorkers.
