Wins Guardian of Seniors’ Rights award from 60 Plus

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05), announced today that she received the Guardian of Seniors' Rights award from the 60 Plus Association, a national non-partisan organization that advocates lower taxes and an adherence to the Constitution.

“Our nation faces great challenges as we confront major future shortfalls in programs like Medicare, so I’m honored that 60 Plus has recognized my work to strengthen and preserve the programs upon which so many Americans rely,” Foxx said.

Now in its 19th year, 60 Plus presents Guardian awards each Congress to Democrats and Republicans alike based on their 'pro-senior' views and legislative initiatives.

60 Plus Chairman Jim Martin said, "we seniors felt we should show our gratitude to dedicated lawmakers like Congresswoman Foxx who show compassion towards the elderly by pledging to always protect Medicare, always protect Social Security, and just as importantly, to vote against wasteful spending of our tax dollars.”

In an award ceremony in the nation’s capital, Martin cited Congresswoman Foxx for "her commitment to look out for America's greatest generation as well as her promise to always work to preserve Medicare and Social Security for future retirees, our children and grandchildren.”
