RE: New Report: Congress & Student Debt

Hey Mahipal,

I wanted to check one last time to see if you had a chance to check out our Congress & Student Debt report.

If you would like to display either of the maps on your website, I can send over instructions on how to do it. We can even send you code to display the maps focused on a specific state or area. 

If you have any questions or would like any more information please let me know.

Thanks for your time,
Nate

Hey Mahipal,

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):

  • 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
- Average student debt and default rates for each State/Congressional District

- 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
