@russfeingold talked student debt and learned about Snapchat at @IansMadison

We really need to get Russ Feingold elected. I think he might be a draw to get Dems to the polls in WI.

Feingold talks debt, loans with students over pizza
The former senator held a round table discussion at Ian's Pizza

by Hayley Sperling · Sep 4, 2015

...................
The meeting was a round-table discussion with 10 UW students who spoke about their college experiences. Many faced the same issues of student debt and struggling to pay for their education.

Feingold is running in the 2016 U.S. Senate race in hopes of taking his seat back from U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson who, in 2010, tossed Feingold from his Senate seat after a 17 year incumbency.

During the discussion, Feingold laid out his four point plan to work toward “debt-free college and access to higher education.” These four points include: government help covering the costs of school, fixing the current loan system, making states retake the primary role when it comes to higher education and reducing the cost of college through accountability.
....................

“I would support such a bill,” Feingold said. “From my understanding, Sen. Johnson has voted against it twice.”
