Congressman Garret Graves represents Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. More than 750,000 people live in the 13 parishes that make up the sixth district, which includes most of Garret’s hometown of Baton Rouge, the bulk of the Capital City’s suburbs, parts of parishes along both sides of the Mississippi River to the western shores of Lake Pontchartrain and continues south through Thibodaux to Houma.
Congressman Graves is working in Congress to eliminate the Windfall Elimination Provision / Government Pension Offset: The flawed provision of the Social Security Act that unfairly punishes and reduces earned retirement benefits for hundreds of thousands of police officers, educators, firefighters and other public servants.
Rep. Graves and a growing group of bipartisan lawmakers are leading an effort to pass legislation to fix this broken rule.
