Issue Position: Guaranteed Secure Retirement

Issue Position

We must ensure that every Pennsylvanian is secure and dignified in their retirement. No senior should ever have to worry about whether they can afford their next meal or pay their rent after working hard their entire life. Unfortunately, Social Security and other retirement safety nets are constantly under attack and no longer a guarantee that they once were. Retirement savings accounts are underfunded, have enormous management fees, and are subject to the whims of the market.

When these systems fail, it's up to our state's government to make up the difference. That's why I will be fighting to create a state-managed retirement savings plan with a mandated employer-match to help everyone save without forcing them to use Wall Street money managers who are more concerned with their own fat paycheck than helping save for retirement.
