Senator Hassan Statement on Student Debt Forgiveness Announcement

Press Release

Following the administration's student debt forgiveness announcement, Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) issued the following statement:

"The rising cost of higher education has led to greater and greater debt for far too many Granite Staters. While I do not support canceling all student debt -- believing instead that we need to focus on targeted relief and bringing down the cost of higher education -- the administration's announcement is a balanced compromise approach that will help those who need it the most. I will continue to work to make higher education and job training programs more affordable and ensure that our young people and economy are not held back by student debt."
