On the recordDecember 10, 2018
Many of us will see this as the holiday season, but many of us know that our young college students will be finishing their first semester of whatever year they are in college. As I was home this season greeting my constituents, one very dedicated constituent came to me and said: What are we doing about helping students get rid of this enormous burden of debt, trying to become a contributing citizen to this country? I made a commitment to him that we would work together to reduce the interest rates on student government loans, to look forward to providing access to education to all Americans. I believe, as students finish their first semester, looking to their second, some of them graduating, that we do have a responsibility to make sure that education is reasonable, accessible, and not the enormous burden that it is. Let's help our college students. Let's help them succeed. I look forward to doing that. ____________________
