Hear the candidates, in their own words, discuss two issues important to Kentuckians age 50-plus and their families: protecting Social Security and supporting family caregivers.

1 in 5 Kentuckians receive Social Security Payments, infusing almost $23 billion into the state’s economy each year. AARP will never stop fighting to protect your hard-earned money.

Nearly one million Kentuckians provide care to a family member or friend with complex medical conditions or disabilities; that’s nearly 3 in 10 adults across the state. These caregivers have provided over $15 billion in economic value. AARP advocates for family caregivers and their loved ones.
