New College Compact: make community college free

Quality, affordable, higher education is one of the most important paths to achieving the American Dream, but the cost of college is daunting, and for too many of our students, it has become insurmountable. For those who do to attend university, devastating loan debt creates major barriers to fiscal health and financial independence for many years beyond graduation.

I support Hillary Clinton's "New College Compact" that will make community college free, and allows students to attend public four-year colleges without having to take out any student loans for tuition, books, or fees. In Congress I will fight for legislation that holds colleges and universities accountable for bringing down their tuition costs and improving the quality of their curricula. Finally, I will work to reduce the debt burden on our young people so our college students can become part of a new generation of business owners and entrepreneurs who can help create jobs and grow our economy.
