AARP Washington St.

Ed Escalante of Bellevue is our lead volunteer for advocacy. Whether it’s advocating for strengthening Social Security in Washington DC or more support for family caregivers in Olympia, AARP Washington volunteers are vital to making sure the voices of people age 50+ are heard.

Thanks to Miguel Valencia from Congressman Michael Baumgarter's office who came to our fraud prevention event at CenterPlace in Spokane Valley. We need more education & better laws to protect all of us from scams. Appreciate Miguel joining us! @RepBaumgartner #FraudWatchNetwork
