Rep. Kelly with 60 Plus Chairman Jim Martin and 60 Plus President Amy Frederick

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (PA-03) issued the following statement today after receiving the 2015 Guardian of Seniors’ Rights Award from the 60 Plus Association by Chairman Jim Martin and President Amy Frederick. The organization has stated that, “Tax reform is a critical link in the chain for the financial stability of seniors,” and presented this year’s award to Members of Congress “for committing to reform the tax code in a way that is simpler and fairer for everyone.”

“I am very honored to receive this award and thank Chairman Martin for the outstanding work his organization does on behalf of all of our nation’s seniors. I wholeheartedly share 60 Plus’ strong commitment to reforming our nation’s outdated tax code so that it is fairer and simpler for all Americans, both young and old, and can allow our economy to flourish again. I am especially proud to have supported the repeal of the unfair federal death tax last week in the House, a cause which 60 Plus has long championed, and rightly so, for the sake of the preserving the American Dream for future generations.”
