Why Colorado Voters 50 and Over Will Shape the 2026 Midterms
With more than 900,000 family caregivers and more than 1 million Coloradans counting on Social Security, the policy decisions candidates make have real, daily consequences for older residents and their families. As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, AARP's role is to make sure candidates understand the priorities of Coloradans 50-plus and respond to them.
The Issues Colorado Candidates Need to Hear From You
Social Security
Without congressional action, Social Security is projected to cover only about 80 percent of full payments by around 2033. AARP opposes any changes that would cut payments, reduce cost-of-living adjustments, privatize the program, or raise the retirement age. The candidates on this year’s ballot will be the ones who must take action to protect Social Security.
Housing and Livable Communities
A 2024 AARP survey found that 75 percent of older adults want to stay in their homes, but 44 percent feel they will have no choice but to move. AARP is pushing candidates to develop real solutions that help Coloradans 50 and older find and keep affordable housing and age in the communities they love.
