Protecting Social Security & Supporting Our Seniors
Social Security isn’t a gift — it’s a promise that every American who works hard can retire with dignity and security. But that promise is under threat. While billionaires dodge taxes and politicians in Washington talk about cuts, seniors in Texas’s 33rd District are struggling to afford groceries, medicine, and rent. Zeeshan’s plan is simple: expand benefits, protect the system, and ensure every senior can live with the respect they’ve earned. From a $200/month benefit increase to lifting the payroll tax cap and expanding Medicare coverage, this campaign is about keeping our word — and building a system strong enough to support every generation.
| Issues |  | Incumbent Veasey |
|---|---|---|
$200/month Social Security Expansion | Advocates expanding benefits by at least $200/month to help seniors afford essentials like food, medicine, and rent. | No record of sponsoring or co-sponsoring legislation to expand Social Security benefits by a fixed monthly amount. |
End Payroll Tax Cap for the Ultra-Wealthy | Supports ending the payroll tax cap so high earners pay into the system—ensuring fairness and trust fund solvency. | No support found for fully lifting the cap. |
No Raising Retirement Age | Opposes any increase to the retirement age to protect working-class seniors in physically demanding jobs. | No public stance on retirement age adjustments. |
Extend Benefits to Surviving Spouses, Disabled, Low-Income | Wants to expand eligibility to better support surviving spouses, disabled seniors, and low-income retirees. | No related legislative activity. |
Medicare Expansion (Dental, Vision, Hearing, LTC) | Champions full Medicare coverage for dental, vision, hearing, and long-term care, plus broader senior support services. | Is not documented as a cosponsor of key Medicare expansion bills like H.R. 2045. |
Senior Housing, Home Care, Nutrition, Transit | Supports funding for senior housing, eviction protection, home care services, nutrition, transportation, and community centers. | No leadership or proposals in these areas. |
Expand Benefits. Strengthen the System. Dignity for Every Generation.
Social Security is not a handout — it’s a promise. A promise that if you work hard your whole life, you’ll be able to retire with dignity, security, and peace of mind.
But today, that promise is under attack. Right-wing politicians want to cut benefits, raise the retirement age, or privatize the system — while billionaires and large corporations dodge taxes that should be strengthening Social Security for all of us.
We reject those efforts. We believe in expanding Social Security — not cutting it.

Our Plan: Expand and Strengthen Social Security
- Increase monthly benefits by at least $200/month to help seniors keep up with rising costs of food, housing, and healthcare.
- Scrap the payroll tax cap so that millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share — currently, income above $168,600 isn’t taxed for Social Security at all.
- Extend benefits for surviving spouses, disabled seniors, and low-income retirees, many of whom are living in or near poverty despite a lifetime of work.
- Oppose any effort to raise the retirement age, which would unfairly punish working-class Americans with physically demanding jobs.
Social Security should be a floor of dignity — not a threadbare safety net.
More Than a Check: Full Support for Senior Wellbeing
- Expand Medicare to include dental, vision, hearing, and long-term care.
- Fund senior housing programs and protections against evictions, gentrification, and rising property taxes.
- Increase support for home care services, allowing seniors to age in place safely and with independence.
- Support senior nutrition programs, free transportation, and local community centers that reduce isolation and improve mental health.

No Cuts. No Privatization. No Broken Promises.
- Privatizing Social Security
- Tying benefits to Wall Street investments
- Any 'Grand Bargain' that cuts benefits or raises the retirement age
We stand firmly against:
Instead, we will fight to ensure this program — earned through a lifetime of work — is stronger for the next generation.
Our seniors deserve more than survival — they deserve respect, comfort, and security. We will protect Social Security with everything we've got.
