Statewide Campus Tour to Engage Iowa College Students and Highlight How Money in Politics Impedes Student Debt Reform
DES MOINES, Iowa - On Monday, Iowa Pays the Price, a non-partisan organization dedicated to raising awareness about the influence of money in politics, will embark on a statewide campus tour that includes stops at six Iowa colleges and universities.
We will be engaging students and faculty members through discussion and listening to their opinions and concerns. Simpson College student Dakota Waltz recently shared his passion for our cause, "Ending big money in politics is a fight that I've wanted to be a part of since I became involved in politics." Iowa Pays The Price wants to hear from other students across Iowa who think that the outrageous amount of money in politics is drowning out their voices.
In addition to educating students and faculty members, Iowa Pays the Price will also be sitting down with student newspapers and sharing a new data analysis highlighting how big money impedes student loan debt reform and contributes to the rising costs of higher education. We will also be reaching out to both Democratic and Republican student organizations to gather insight from both parties on why this is an issue that is particularly important to their generation.
