I just wanted to check in and see if you had a chance to check out our Congress & Student Debt study yet.
We thought it was interesting that states with 2 Republican Senators had 25% less student loan debt than those with 2 Democratic Senators, but defaulted on their student loans about 55% more often.
This is especially eye opening considering Republican Senators only supported 1.8 of the 6 college affordability initiatives that we looked at, on average, while Democratic Senators supported 4.07 or the 6, on average.
Anyway, if you have any thoughts, comments, or questions please don't hesitate to reach out.
Best,
Nate

Hi Mahipal,
We just released our largest report ever: Congress & Student Debt
During the last election cycle, student debt became a big political issue, so we decided to take a deeper look.
Our report includes:
- 2 Interactive maps highlighting student debt statistics by Congressional District & State (which you can embed on your site if you'd like)- Key Observations (examples below):
- Average student debt and default rates for each State/Congressional District
- Borrowers from Republican states default on their student loans about 55% more often than those from Democratic states
- Borrowers from Democratic states have 25% more student loan debt than borrowers from Republican states
- Extensive research for all 535 Congressmen including college affordability initiatives they have supported
We would love for you to check out our study and hear your thoughts. We think it is a great resource and includes some interesting insights.
Best,
Nate Matherson
