Elizabeth Warren in PBS News Hour

On Education: Support teacher unions on this time of crisis

• Education and college costs: Wants to make public college free.
• Warren has supported efforts aimed at lowering college costs. She backed a 2017 bill--introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.--that would have eliminated out tuition for many students attending public colleges.
• She also backed a proposal from Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, that would have let students attend public colleges without having to take on any loans to pay for tuition, room and board, books, or other expenses.
• She said in a July, 2018 speech that "this is a time of crisis" for the country's teachers, and has supported teachers unions.
• This week, she tweeted support for the Los Angeles teachers who began striking on Tuesday.

On Energy & Oil: Supports the idea of a Green New Deal

• Climate change: Supports reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Warren favors forcing public companies to report their greenhouse gas emissions and any potential effects climate change might have on their businesses.
• She also supports "the idea of a Green New Deal," a broad package of proposals floated by some Democrats and environmental groups aimed at taking action against climate change.
• But while Warren fielded questions from voters about climate change at an Iowa event this month, she did not focus on the issue the day she announced she was forming a presidential exploratory committee.

On War & Peace: Withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria

• Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria: U.S. should withdraw troops from those countries.
• Warren, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, supports reducing the U.S. military's presence in some global hotspots.
• Last November, she called for the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan.
• Warren also says the U.S. should withdraw service members from Iraq and Syria, though she has not gone into detail about what timetables she would support for those withdrawals.
