Former New York state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, a Democrat, said she owes $206,000 in student loan debt
Former New York state Democrat Sen. Alessandra Biaggi took to social media Friday to discuss the pricey student loans she had amassed during law school, despite purchasing a $1.14 million home last summer.
“In 2012, I graduated from Fordham Law School with $180,000 is student loan debt,” Biaggi wrote in a tweet. “I’ve been paying loans for 11 years. Even paid two of them off completely.”
“In 2023, my balance is $206,000,” added Biaggi, who represented New York’s 34th district during her three-year tenure in the state Senate.
The remarks from Biaggi — who posed an unsuccessful primary challenge to former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., in the 2022 midterm elections — came nearly one year after it was reported that she and her husband had purchased and moved into a $1,137,500 home located in the state’s 17th Congressional District, which she had hoped to represent in Congress.
She made the debt then she pays it. I paid mine and worked raised a child and paid for their education. I lived in a $75,000 home not a $1,000,000.00 home. I am on SSI and 71 yo. Somebody needs to explain why I am responsible for her loans or any body else?
Waaaa Waaaa !!!!! No more Discrimination against us who did not get to go to college !!!! LOL
Oh booo hooo for her.
student loans helped my family. my kids worked hard and made something of themselves. but, the loans are a scam of epic proportion. these loans allowed too many high school deadbeats to become college students. knowing all along that these flunkies are not going to pursue their degree, and many will never be able to pay back the loan. student loans have made colleges and universities powerful.
Poor baby with a million dollar home !!!! No room to complain
