FreedomWorks is excited to honor Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) as the member of the month for December 2021. He serves in the House of Representatives for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, located in the south-central part of the state south of the capital city of Harrisburg.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Student Loan Reform Act, H.R. 1586, introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). This bill would establish a program under which colleges and universities can cosign all eligible direct loans made to their students in exchange for the ability to offer lower interest rates on such loans. Allowing for institutions of higher learning to cosign student loans presents a much-needed market-based solution to the student debt crisis by incentivizing such institutions to take more responsibility for their students’ futures while also encouraging students to choose higher education paths more wisely and seek degrees that institutions stand behind.
