Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) has received a Lawmaker of the Month Award from the 60 Plus Association, a national senior citizens organization with 900 members in the 3rd Congressional District.

In announcing Jones as a July winner of the award, 60 Plus Association President Jim Martin praised Jones for his “pro-senior voting record.”

“Congressman Jones has always been someone seniors can count on. He has truly been a man for all seasons. Seniors know that Walter Jones can be depended on,” he said.

Martin cited Jones’ votes to:

-Repeal the death tax, which hurts small businesses and family farms

-Repeal the Earnings Limit for seniors 65 to 69

-Support the work of the President’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security

-Oppose taxes on Social Security benefits.

“Congressman Jones deserves credit for voting right whenever an issue important to seniors is before the House. That’s why he has been chosen as a Lawmaker of the Month for July,” Martin said.
