AARP Voter Guide
Each election year, AARP asks major candidates in selected races key questions about the issues most important to our members and their families. Candidates are allowed up to 125 words to answer each question. AARP does not edit or modify the candidates’ answers to our questions. In addition, AARP provides a summary of our position for each of the issues addressed.

About The Issues
The Divided We Fail Platform
AARP believes that access to health care and long-term financial security are basic needs that all Americans share. Become a Divided We Fail Voter.
Financial Security
Long-term financial security is a cornerstone of the American dream: If you work hard and follow the rules, you should be able to retire without financial worries.
Access To Health Care
The threat of rising health insurance premiums and the prospect of losing coverage altogether has become a constant concern for far too many American families.
Now is the Time for Health Reform
Americans will no longer settle for a health care system that costs too much, wastes too much, and leaves too many without care. Tell Congress that NOW is the time for health reform!
AARP Bulletin Poll: Top Issues for Voters 50 Plus
Our exclusive monthly survey reveals most of our readers believe government competence, Social Security, and rising health costs are the most important issues of this presidential election. They also believe personal debt and climate change are the least of their worries.
