JOHN,

February 12, 2008, was a huge day for me. It was the day I won the Democratic primary to become the first Black woman to represent Maryland in Congress. That morning, before I voted, delivered a similarly huge personal victory for me. At 49 years old, after over 25 years, I mailed my last check. I was finally student-debt free. Sound outrageous? That’s because it is.

America’s student debt crisis has existed for decades, and it’s only getting worse. $43,000 is the AVERAGE student loan debt of a Maryland resident — well above the national norm. And this crisis disproportionately hurts people of color and women. A reality I know all too well.

An education should propel you forward in life, not hold you back. Yet, millions are struggling to make ends meet just for pursuing their dreams.

That’s not right.

That’s why I’m running for Congress — to push for real change for the people of Maryland. If elected, I would make canceling student debt a top priority. Because no American should be financially worse off for pursuing a quality education in this country. If you agree, add your name and demand we cancel student debt NOW!

Student debt is crushing millions of people across the country — leaving so many unable to pursue their dreams and build financial stability. This crisis harms our communities, our economy and our country’s future. We must end it.

No person should be saddled with over two decades of debt, like I was, just from following their dreams. That’s why I need your help to fix this crisis.

Join my call to CANCEL STUDENT DEBT TODAY and let’s deliver a victory for the millions of Americans who desperately need it! Sign on here: [link removed]
