Slaughter fights for affordable education

Letter To The Editor
I want to thank Rep. Louise Slaughter for her role in preventing the federal student loan interest rate from doubling. Thanks to her leadership and her vote, I will save $350 on my student loans next year. While this sum may seem small, many of my friends and myself have been forced to borrow significantly to finance our college educations. Student loan debt is more than $1 trillion, and rising tuition prices have made it harder than ever to afford an education. I am grateful we have a tough fighter like Slaughter, who has students and their families’ interests at heart.
