Fight to protect and expand Social Security for seniors.

Por eso lucho para proteger y expandir el seguro social para nuestros adultos mayores.
Evidence
Escobar said she would "protect these hard-earned benefits" and joined a bill to strengthen Social Security so seniors keep benefits they paid into.
GovInfo lists Escobar among cosponsors of H.R. 4583, the Social Security 2100 Act, whose purpose is to protect Social Security and improve benefits.
The House Clerk roll call shows Escobar voted Yea on the Social Security Fairness Act, which passed the House 327-75.
GovInfo shows H.R. 82 became an engrossed House bill that would repeal the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions.
Assessments
Escobar promised to fight to protect and expand Social Security, which is an advocacy/legislative-effort promise rather than a guarantee that Congress would fully enact a broad expansion. The evidence shows she cosponsored major expansion/protection legislation, publicly backed additional Social Security strengthening legislation, and voted for the Social Security Fairness Act, a Social Security benefit-expansion measure that passed the House. These actions satisfy the promised fight within the relevant term, even though broader Social Security expansion remains incomplete.
