2020 NH Senatorial race: on Education


Andy Martin: Taxpayers shouldn't help pay off existing student loans

Q: Under what circumstances should taxpayers help pay off existing student loans?

A: I can't think of any, unless it involves students [who] were attending fraudulent institutions that were still approved by the federal government.

Don Bolduc: Reduced tuition benefits through public service

?Every young person should have the opportunity to earn and receive a quality, affordable education. I believe that we can adopt a program that allows young people to earn reduced tuition benefits through the performance of public service, much like I did when I joined the Army and paid for college with the GI Bill. Public service doesn't mean military service.

Andy Martin: Ensure college access for everyone

I am not surprised that congress took the first, small step towards ensuring college access for everyone when it began to tax private endowments. We have to tread carefully in managing our world-class institutions of higher education, but I will do my best to see that students today have the same access and opportunity that my uncle and mother had when they applied to UNH 80 years ago. New Hampshire did right by its students then, and we need to do right and increase college opportunities today.

Higher Education: A former high school teacher, as Governor she made kindergarten a reality for tens of thousands of children and helped make college more affordable through a tax free college tuition savings plan. In the Senate, she continues working to reduce college loan interest rates and introduced legislation to allow college students to refinance their student loan debt at lower interest rates, which could save families thousands of dollars.
