Washington, DC,
June 6, 2013
We must come together before July 1 to support our students, not double their burden.
Contact: Staci Cox (Rep. Moore) 202-225- 4572 Kathleen Hohl (MATC) 414-297-6208 Milwaukee, WI – On Monday, May 10, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) will join Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) students to oppose doubling the subsidized Stafford student loan interest rate from 3.4 to 6.8 percent. If Congress fails to act, the rate will automatically double on July 1. “In our recovering economy, it is absurd that we are even debating whether or not to keep student loan interest rates low,” said Rep. Moore. “Student loan debt has reached over $1 trillion, impacting more than 7 million students. We must come together before July 1 to support our students, not double their burden.” For more information about this press conference, please call Rep. Moore’s Washington, D.C. office at (202) 225-4572 or Kathleen Hohl with MATC at (414) 297-6208 (office), (414) 235-7105 (cell), hohlk@matc.edu.
