Elizabeth Warren has always led on student debt.
Introduced student debt plan that became a part of Bernie's 2016 platform.
Was 1st candidate to propose student debt cancellation
Here, in 2008, as a professor, she tells new members of Congress to do something abt student debt

Elizabeth Warren political ad on student debt in her 2012 contest against Scott Brown, her first political campaign.
Another ad on student debt from the same election.
Once in office, the 1st bill Elizabeth Warren introduced was on student loans.
"Last week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Senate’s foremost advocate for lowering student debt and lowering the cost of college, received a petition signed by over 240,000 people. The petition called on Congress and the president to cancel all student debt."

Elizabeth Warren is the only candidate with a history of successfully getting any student debt canceled.
Although Elizabeth Warren led on student debt, Bernie Sanders supported her ideas.
More people should see Elizabeth Warren's brutal fight back against Betsy DeVos's nomination at her confirmation hearing.
When Betsy DeVos did get confirmed, Elizabeth Warren launched #DeVosWatch to fight back against her policies, and shed light on her actions.

To add some more color to the Betsey DeVos fight:
It was Elizabeth Warren that led that fight, with the help of many of her Democratic colleagues.
She lost that fight but she fought all the way.

Elizabeth Warren tore in to Betsy DeVos when she got the opportunity to question her.
And tore in to her some more.
She even lightheartedly tried to make a Super Bowl bet with the Republicans to prevent a DeVos confirmation. 😂
@SenWarren: "How about we put a vote for Betsy DeVos on the line?"
@SenatorIsakson: "That's more than a gamble."

@SenWarren @SenatorIsakson Then some conservatives threw tantrums that she didn’t shake DeVos’s hand.
Warren was perfectly civil, but why should she shake the hand of a billionaire becoming education secretary who had worked to destroy public education and had financial ties to debt collection businesses.

@SenWarren @SenatorIsakson The Republicans got so tired of the fight Elizabeth Warren led against Betsy DeVos’s nomination, they ran some silly attack ads against her.
@SenWarren @SenatorIsakson But Elizabeth Warren persisted. She laid out her argument in an all-night protest. On the Senate floor.
@SenWarren @SenatorIsakson I think it’s important the next president is a person who cares about public education and the student loan debt burden as much as Elizabeth Warren does.
Elizabeth Warren hasn't stopped fighting against Betsy DeVos.

@SenWarren @SenatorIsakson No one has taken on Betsy DeVos as fiercely and consistently as Elizabeth Warren has.
