"Nothing and no one will stand in our way," Dr. Biden said.
That was the message Dr. Jill Biden had for senior citizens at the Brown County Library and she encouraged them to vote.
Green Bay is one of many stops this week for the "Seniors for Biden-Harris" coalition.
The Biden-Harris Administration says the coalition emphasizes what's at stake for American seniors, especially those in battleground states.
She says President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris aim to keep prescription drug costs low and strengthen social security and medicare benefits.
"We will continue that progress, making sure that all Americans can afford their medication, ensuring everyone can age with dignity, building a better future for our children and our grandchildren," Dr. Jill Biden said.
Shortly after Dr. Biden's speech, she made her way back to airport for her next stop in Duluth, Minnesota.
