Democratic Congresswoman Annie Kuster and Republican challenger Steve Negron faced off Thursday at an AARP-sponsored event in Concord.
The two candidates for the state’s 2nd Congressional District debated issues including Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Kuster said she would fight for such programs and she criticized Republican policies she says are putting them at risk.
“I have to say, the only threat to Medicare and Social Security is the tax break for millionaires and billionaires that added $1.5 trillion to the debt.”
