Friends,

The cost of higher education is out of control.

Students working toward a successful career shouldn't be met with burdensome debt that follows them throughout their entire lives.

I was proud to introduce the Clean Slate through Consolidation Act and the Clean Slate through Repayment Act to remove a default status on the credit history from federal student loan borrowers who have consolidated or fully repaid their student loans.

We need to give our students every opportunity to get back on their feet. If you agree, sign on to support these critical bills >>

Earning a higher education degree should be empowering -- not a toll on your financial future.

Over 44 million students combined owe more than $1.4 trillion in student loan debt -- and the continually rising cost of a higher education puts college out of reach for too many Michiganders.

Our students deserve responsible measures to relieve the burden of student loan debt and lower the cost of getting an education.

We need 5,000 signers to show their support for affordable higher education -- Will you add your name? >>

Thanks for signing on,
Haley
