The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, the nation's leading coalition of entitlement program supporters, endorsed Democratic nominee Dan Seals in the 10th Congressional District race. From a letter passed along to the candidate:

“Our nation needs your leadership, vision and determination to fight for working families and older Americans. You earned the endorsement of the National Committee because you understand and support the critical roles that Social Security and Medicare play in the retirement and health security of our nation’s older citizens and their families. You are well-prepared to serve the needs of seniors and as your record clearly shows, you will make the preservation of Social Security and Medicare a priority in office.

Seals has previously criticized Republican nominee Robert Dold's position on Social Security.
