2020 AZ Senatorial race: on Education


Mark Kelly: More financial aid, lower interest rates on student loans

Q: Opinion on college debt?

Mark Kelly: Yes. Wants students to have access to higher education without "crushing debt" by providing more financial aid and lowering interest rates on federal student loans.

Martha McSally: No recent stand found. In 2012 opposed higher-ed funding but in 2014 said Congress should "bring the cost of education down and make it affordable and available."

Mark Kelly: Expand access to early education; pay teachers a decent wage

Mark knows that every goal we have starts with a great education for every American. That means starting young--expanding access to quality early childhood education for everyone. That means a K-12 education system that treats teachers like valued professionals, paying them a decent wage and giving them the tools they need--materials, resources, and support to grow in the profession--to succeed.

Mark Kelly: Support post-secondary training; ease student debt

All our kids need some post-secondary training. We need to invest more in career training, apprenticeship programs and work to streamline professional certification. Mark knows what a great public higher education institution can do for its students and our economy--and he's committed to making sure more students gain that experience without the burden of crushing debt. That can start with fully funding Pell Grants and other financial aid and lowering interest rates on federal student loans.
