New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has earned at least $174,000 annually since 2018 but still owes between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loan debt, according to House financial disclosures.
- Ocasio-Cortez, a strong advocate for student debt cancellation, has backed forgiving up to $50,000 per borrower but has not substantially reduced her own loans accumulated during her time at Boston University.
- Other lawmakers, including Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, also carry significant student debt, while some colleagues have paid down their loans partially or fully.
- Ocasio-Cortez has recently focused on saving for egg freezing, a costly fertility procedure she chose to undergo independently without government funding or legislation for taxpayer coverage.
- Despite the Supreme Court blocking Biden’s student debt cancellation plan in 2023, Ocasio-Cortez urged the administration to continue pursuing loan forgiveness through other legal avenues before repayment resumes.
