Does Ted Cruz have a student loan problem? Maybe not

Ted Cruz has won the support of youth voters in some state primaries, but some are saying he may lose future voters for his position on student loans, according to Will Weissert with Associated Press.

Weissert doesn’t believe his record is something to help him, since Cruz hasn’t offered a plan to cut costs and in the Senate and he opposed letting Americans reduce their student loan payments.

Much of the focus is on Cruz’s time as a private lawyer in Houston, where he opposed letting an Arizona man avoid interest payments on student loans by filing for bankruptcy. United Student Aid Funds, Inc. v. Espinosa was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 9-0 decision against the creditor, because the creditor didn’t object or appeal properly.

Cruz struggled with his own student loans, which Alessandra Gennarelli, a University of Texas sophomore and the co-chairwoman of Millennials for Cruz, says people can relate to him on. “The main thing is fixing the economy,” she believes.

During the weekend of CPAC last month, Cruz spoke of expanding Millennials for Cruz in a message to college students.
