Vance and Ryan Agree, Disagree on Ohio US Senate Debates

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : In May 2020, Ryan voted yes on the HEROES Act, which featured plans to eliminate as much as $10,000 in student loan debt for around 20 million borrowers.
49% : Ryan encouraged Congress to "do more to help bring this debt down and make college more affordable" earlier in 2018, adding that "44 million Americans owe a total of $1.5 trillion in student debt.
45% : "Student debt is out of control," Ryan tweeted in October 2018.
43% : "And while there's no doubt that a college education should be about opening opportunities, waiving debt for those already on a trajectory to financial security sends the wrong message to the millions of Ohioans without a degree working just as hard to make ends meet."
36% : Ryan added that the government should pursue an across-the-board tax cut for working- and middle-class families, and medical debt cancellation among other measures instead of forgiving loans "for six-figure earners."
27% : "Tim Ryan's 20 years in D.C. tell a different story: he votes with Joe Biden 100 percent of the time, voted for taxpayer-funded abortion on demand until the point of birth, voted to raise taxes over a hundred times, and voted with the defund the police movement."
25% : When Biden announced his executive order to forgive student loans, Ryan spoke out against the action.
