Title
Seniors for Jay
Description
Campaign button for seniors from one of Senator Rockefeller IV's campaigns.

Senior citizens are an important voting block. For almost 40 years, voters aged 45 and over have turned out far more than younger Americans. In the 2016 presidential election, 71 percent of Americans over 65 voted. For much of Senator Rockefeller's career, he focused on improving America's healthcare system. As part of the Finance Committee, he worked to ensure that Medicare health insurance premiums were affordable for senior citizens. While senior citizens surely look at issues other than "senior issues," such as Medicare and Social Security, in many of Senator Rockefeller's campaigns, he highlighted his record for fighting for affordable healthcare.
