KIMBERLY OVERMAN TO HOLD SOCIAL SECURITY TOWN HALL IN NORTHDALE WITH JON “BOWZER” BAUMAN, SOCIAL SECURITY WORKS PRESIDENT

Overman and Bauman to take voter questions as Social Security faces an automatic 22 percent cut in 2032

TAMPA – Kimberly Overman, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Florida’s 12th District, will hold a Social Security town hall on Friday, Sept. 25, at 10 a.m. at the Northdale Recreation Center, 15510 Hooting Owls Pl.

When: Friday, Sept. 25, 10 a.m. ET

Where: Northdale Recreation Center, 15510 Hooting Owls Pl., Tampa, FL 33624

Overman and Bauman will lay out what this election means for Social Security. The program’s retirement and survivors trust fund is projected to run out in late 2032, and unless Congress acts first, benefits would be cut automatically by about 22 percent across the board. The members elected this November will be in office for those votes.

More than 432,000 people in Hillsborough and Pasco counties receive Social Security, including about 55,000 disabled workers and their families, according to Social Security Administration figures for December 2025. Their benefits add up to more than $817 million a month. 

“I’ve spent my career as a financial planner helping families get ready for retirement, and Social Security is the foundation under nearly every one of those plans,” said Overman. “A 22 percent cut would be devastating for people here who paid in their whole working lives. Whoever this district sends to Congress will be voting on that.”

About Kimberly Overman

Kimberly Overman is a mom, a grandmother, a small business owner, and a public servant with deep roots in Florida’s 12th District. She’s running for Congress because she believes leadership should be about listening, showing up, and delivering real solutions – not playing politics or chasing headlines.

Raised in a working-class family that faced housing insecurity, Kimberly learned early what it means to struggle—and to persevere. Her mother worked hard to keep the family afloat, and those early experiences shaped Kimberly’s lifelong commitment to fairness, opportunity, and economic justice.

Over the years, Kimberly has worn many hats: she put herself through college, earned her Certified Financial Planner designation, and built a successful advisory firm focused on ethical financial guidance. She’s volunteered in her community for decades, applying her background in economics and planning to real-world challenges – especially around housing, transportation, and sustainability.

As a Hillsborough County Commissioner from 2018 to 2022, Kimberly delivered during some of the region’s most challenging moments. She led during the COVID-19 pandemic, championing emergency support for small businesses, childcare providers, and vulnerable residents. She pushed for expanded public health programs, affordable housing initiatives, and more equitable infrastructure investment.

But what sets Kimberly apart isn’t just her experience – it’s her empathy. As a mother and grandmother, she knows what’s at stake for the next generation. She understands what families are facing because she’s lived it: the high cost of care, the fear of unexpected bills, the frustration with a system that too often leaves people behind.

In Washington, Kimberly will bring a grounded, no-nonsense approach to leadership—focused on solutions, service, and building a future where everyone has a fair shot.
