Representative Claudia Tenny is visiting senior citizens this month to highlight their needs in the community.

At Rome's Ava Dorfman Senior Center, she talked about social security, Medicare, and Medicaid.  The seniors were able to ask Tenny questions to learn her stance on various issues.

Tenny told them what they see on social media often needs to be fact checked, and Tenny got a message as well.

"The needs of seniors cannot be ignored,” said Executive Director of Ava Dorfman Senior Center Susan Streeter. “We're getting older, we're living longer, and those needs have to be addressed in some fashion."

Tenny faces democratic challenger, State Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi in the November Election.
