Glenn Grothman is the congressman for Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District. Grothman is currently serving his fourth term in Congress, having first been elected in 2014.
In the House of Representatives, Grothman serves on three committees, the House Committee on Education and Labor, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, where he serves as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Security, and the House Committee on the Budget. Grothman's time in office has also been marked by his passionate advocacy for manufacturing, worker training, welfare reform, higher education reform, immigration reform, and pro-life causes. Grothman has also been recognized for his work to protect Medicare and Social Security by receiving the “Guardian of Seniors’ Rights” award.
Social Security is an important program for millions of American seniors. Unfortunately, the Social Security program is facing serious financial shortfalls. By 2023, the Social Security Disability Program will run out of funds to pay current beneficiaries the funds they are supposed to receive. By 2033, the main Social Security Trust Fund will run out of money, and seniors relying on their Social Security checks will be forced to lose their benefits.
This is unacceptable. As your Representative in Congress, I’ll fight to protect and preserve Social Security so current and future retirees have the program available to them. To do so, Congress needs to start working now to ensure the program’s vitality for today’s retirees and tomorrow’s. The longer we wait the worse the situation will become.
