Public Service Loan Forgiveness

Public Service Loan Forgiveness

Kamala Harris is a strong supporter of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and has met personally with AFSCME members, including an AFSCME social worker who had a “life-changing” $350,000 in student debt canceled. As attorney general of California, Harris took on scam colleges that saddled people with student debt and later delivered student loan relief to those families. Harris' advocacy for expanding and strengthening the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program ensures that those who serve their communities can do so without being weighed down by unmanageable debt. Her dedication to this issue reflects her broader commitment to valuing and supporting public service workers in all aspects of their lives.
