Claimant: Chris Pappas (D)
Claim: New Hampshire Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Sununu “led efforts to privatize Social Security.”
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: As a member of Congress, Sununu sponsored or co-sponsored multiple proposals that would have allowed some workers to direct part of their Social Security taxes or benefits into private investment accounts. However, the proposals would not have fully privatized Social Security and generally were voluntary, limited by age, or both. (politifact.com)
