5th District Democratic Congressional nominee Roy Carter received this week the coveted endorsement of the Alliance for Retired Americans. In the endorsement letter, Alliance President George Kourpias praised Carter for his commitment to improve the quality of life for older Americans. Said Kourpias, "Your leadership on issues such as fighting Social Security privatization and strengthening the Social Security and Medicare systems exhibit that commitment."
Kourpias also cited Carter’s advocacy for quality, affordable health care. "Our members can support your candidacy because of your belief in the need to provide more affordable health care for older Americans, to create a Medicare drug program that benefits seniors, not insurance and drug companies, as well as the need for stronger retirement and pension security, and quality long term and nursing home care."
The Alliance for Retired Americans represents more than three and a half million retirees and older Americans, including 41,097 members in North Carolina.
