To the Editor:
In the past two years, we’ve seen some incredible investments in American families, our economy and our future, thanks to the White House and congressional Democrats.
It’s awful to see Representatives and the new MAGA House Leadership pledge to undo all of that progress.
We don’t want to see our seniors used as political pawns, with constant threats to cut their Medicare and Social Security. We want to make progress in preparing for climate change.
We the voters are going to hold them accountable when they use their power not to help build our communities, but instead to advance their extremist agenda, give tax handouts to their rich donors, and target the vulnerable.

Letter to the Editor
Over the past several years, federal decisions have had significant impacts on American families, seniors, and local communities. Regardless of party, voters deserve clear explanations of how policies affect economic stability, essential programs, and long-term planning for the future.
Medicare and Social Security are critical to millions of seniors and families. Discussions about their funding or reform should be handled with care, transparency, and a genuine commitment to protecting those who rely on them. Similarly, preparing communities for environmental and climate-related challenges requires practical planning, responsible investment, and collaboration—not political posturing.
Elected officials are entrusted with power to serve the public interest. That responsibility includes fiscal responsibility, ethical governance, and prioritizing the well-being of communities over ideology or political advantage.
Voters are watching closely and will continue to expect accountability, honesty, and leadership focused on building stable, resilient communities.
