Release: McBride Campaign Releases New Ad in Defense of Social Security and Medicare
Sarah McBride will always stand up for the promises made to workers after a lifetime of hard work
Wilmington, DE — Today, Sarah McBride, the Democratic Nominee for Delaware’s at-large Congressional seat, released her third ad of the general election campaign.
The ad highlights McBride’s commitment and record of making healthcare more accessible and affordable in the State Senate and her commitment to protect and expand Social Security and Medicare in Congress.
“Promise” can be viewed here and is part of an aggressive seven-figure ad buy in the New Castle/Philadelphia, Sussex/Salisbury markets by the McBride campaign.
The news follows McBride’s Republican opponent endorsing Project 2025, which would limit older Americans’ health care choices and put the future of Medicare and Social Security at risk. In effect, a Trump presidency emboldened by a Republican congress would threaten the promise made to seniors after a lifetime of work.
Full Transcript of “Promise”
“My brothers and I were blessed with loving parents. They paid into Social Security and Medicare their entire lives. Now, some politicians in Washington want to take away the benefits seniors across Delaware have earned.
“I’m Sarah McBride. In the Senate, I helped lower prescription drug costs. In Congress, my priority will be making it easier for people to pay their bills and afford to retire.
“I approve this message because Social Security is a promise after a lifetime of hard work.”
