Occurrences
He has long supported efforts to ensure that these programs remain stable and solvent for generations to come and will continue to push back against any scheme to undercut them.
Today Congressman Stephen F. Lynch joined ... in introducing the Social Security 2100 Act, H.R. 860, which will expand Social Security’s vital benefits, financially strengthen the system and cut taxes for over 10 million seniors throughout the 21st century.
Evidence
The campaign site says Lynch is fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare, and pensions that seniors rely on to retire with dignity.
His House site says Medicare and Social Security must be protected, that he has long supported efforts to keep them stable and solvent, and that he will keep pushing back against schemes to undercut them.
Lynch announced that he joined House colleagues in introducing the Social Security 2100 Act, described as expanding benefits and financially strengthening Social Security for seniors.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 860 was introduced on January 30, 2019 and referred to the Subcommittee on Social Security; the bill tracker status remained introduced.
Assessments
The evidence shows Lynch consistently advocated for protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions and joined a concrete legislative effort, H.R. 860/Social Security 2100 Act, aimed at strengthening Social Security. However, that bill remained only introduced and did not become law, and the other evidence is mainly position statements rather than proof that the promised protections were enacted or otherwise delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but no delivered promised outcome, this is best classified as never with an effort badge.
