What does Bob Harvie propose for college affordability and education?
Bob Harvie believes the cost of higher education has become a barrier to the American Dream, burdening young people with debt before their careers begin and pricing families out of an investment that was supposed to guarantee a better future. He supports federal action to make college more affordable, expand Pell Grants, and provide student loan relief — not just for four-year college graduates, but for trade school students as well.
As a former vocational high school teacher, he is emphatic: electricians, plumbers, and construction workers deserve the same respect and the same debt relief as four-year college graduates. He also supports civics education and financial literacy courses in high school so that young people can make informed decisions about their futures.
