Potential Democratic Presidential Contender Mayor Wayne Messam Wants To Wipe Out Everyone's Student Debt


A mayor of a small Florida town has formed an exploratory committee for a potential run for president.

Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam (D) announced the formation of the committee on Wednesday, reports The Sun Sentinel.

He is expected to make a definitive decision about his potential candidacy by the end of the month. If he runs, Messam wants to tout his experiences as a self-made businessman and the son of Jamaican immigrants. He also wants to wipe out all student debt.

“I am living the American dream that my parents came to this country to have, and one that is slipping away from average Americans,” he said. “We have to re-commit to making that reality achievable again.”

“The mayor firmly believes you cannot just move to debt free college when student loan debt is stifling the American dream today,” one of his aides told BuzzFeed News. “We’re declaring it as an issue that threatens the economic security of this country. We don’t have to walk into another Great Recession.”
