MANAGING STUDENT LOANS

Getting an affordable college education has never been more important than it is now.  The prospect of student loan debt can be frightening for students deciding whether or not they can even afford to go college.

Congress should be doing all it can to ensure that student loan debt does not cripple the ability of college graduates to choose careers based on their skills and interests.  Since coming to Washington, I have fought for legislation that helps make student loans more affordable and manageable.

To help me fight for legislation that will help make college affordable education for every student in America no matter their family’s economic status, I need to hear from college students.
