I’ve made a commitment to lean into this. We actually are scheduling three different social security roundtables between now and the end of the year, where we’ll pull together some seniors, some young people and some business people in these three different groups, and we have a calculator that says, if we move the age, here’s what happens; if we move the amount that we take for your paycheck, here’s what happens. We want to bring these people in and help them decide which levers we should pull to save Social Security.

Curtis committed to addressing Social Security by scheduling three roundtables before year-end with seniors, young people, and business people to assess reform options.

Evidence

Congress.gov lists John R. Curtis as serving in the House for Utah District 3 in the 115th-118th Congresses (2017-2025) and in the Senate for Utah in the 119th Congress (2025-present). The member activity page lists sponsored legislation, cosponsored legislation, Congressional Record remarks, and House roll-call votes; the visible subject-policy filters include Social Welfare [10] but do not show a Retirement Security & Social Insurance category for his activity.

Establishes the relevant federal service period and shows no obvious official Congress.gov activity category matching Social Security reform roundtables; this is negative/inferential evidence, not proof that no roundtables occurred.

The official Senate events page lists 'Hangout At The Hive' as an informal weekly gathering to connect, ask questions, and share perspective. It does not list any Social Security roundtable with seniors, young people, or business people.

Current official events page does not document the promised three Social Security roundtables, but it is limited to the Senate website and may not cover earlier House events.

Curtis's newsletter summary says his high that week was introducing the Fiscal Commission Act, which would create a bicameral fiscal commission to find legislative solutions to stabilize spending and decrease the national debt, with Congress required to vote on the recommendations.

Shows later-term action on fiscal reform related to long-term federal finances, but it is not evidence that he held the three specific Social Security roundtables promised.

The official legislation page lists S.4012, the Fiscal Commission Act, with the latest action: read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.

Corroborates a concrete later-term legislative effort on fiscal reform, but not the promised constituent roundtables on Social Security.

Congress.gov states that H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, became Public Law No. 118-273 on January 5, 2025. The CRS summary says the act repeals provisions that reduce Social Security benefits for people who receive certain other benefits, including government pensions.

Shows a Social Security-related law passed during Curtis's House service, but it does not establish that Curtis held the promised reform roundtables or that the law was a product of such roundtables.

The Clerk records Roll Call 456 on November 12, 2024 for the Social Security Fairness Act; the status was Passed, 327 yeas to 75 nays, and Curtis, Republican of Utah, voted Yea.

Curtis supported a Social Security bill in a later House term, but this is legislative voting evidence rather than evidence of the three promised roundtables.

Assessments

never later_term A for effort

The promise was a specific process commitment: hold three Social Security roundtables with seniors, young people, and business people. The evidence shows later-term activity related to fiscal policy and Social Security, including introducing the Fiscal Commission Act and voting for the Social Security Fairness Act, but it does not document the promised three roundtables or a direct substitute for them. Those later actions show a serious related policy effort, so this merits an effort badge, but not delivery of the stated promise.
