Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement applauding President Biden’s nomination of Martin O’Malley to be Social Security Commissioner:

“Social Security is the most sacred promise of economic security in our country, and amid Republican threats and budget cuts, the Social Security Administration delivers great dignity and peace of mind to beneficiaries. Governor Martin O’Malley’s commitment to expanding and protecting Americans’ earned benefits as well as his record of public service will not only safeguard the future of Social Security but also modernize the agency and value its dedicated workforce.

“Acting Commissioner Kijakazi has been a steady hand in turbulent times, and I thank her for her exceptional dedication to the American people. I look forward to a swift confirmation in the Senate and to working together to protect and strengthen Social Security and defend it from Republican attacks.”
