U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) -- a member of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security -- issued the following statement today announcing the creation of the Retirement Security Caucus in the House of Representatives, a bipartisan organization that he has officially co-founded with his co-chairman and fellow Ways and Means Committee member, Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA). The Senate Retirement Security Caucus is being co-chaired by Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Ben Cardin (D-MD).
"I am proud to announce this new bipartisan, bicameral caucus to raise awareness about the importance of properly planning ahead for a safe and secure retirement. All Americans deserve to enjoy their later years in comfort and in peace of mind--and wallet. This caucus will heed the concerns of millions of Americans about achieving financial security in their retirement and ensure that federal policies are crafted to make such security as easy to realize as possible."
