Woman 1:  I owe about $68,000...

Woman 2:  I owe $44,000 in student loans...

Clinton (clip from town hall):  My plan, the New College Compact, says you should not have to borrow money to pay tuition if you go to a public college or university, [applause] and you ought to be able to refinance student debt, and I don't believe the federal government should be making a profit off of lending to young people [applause] who are borrowing to be able to get their education. 

We have got to make college education affordable...

Clinton (voiceover): I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

Clinton, In New Ad, Touts Plan to Make College More Affordable

As a generation of young Americans struggles to deal with the crushing burden of student debt, Hillary for America's latest TV ad, "Compact," highlights Hillary Clinton's plan to reduce the cost of college.

Clinton's "New College Compact" would guarantee that students do not need to borrow to pay for tuition, books, and fees to attend a four-year public college in their state. Her plan would also provide college graduates with the opportunity to refinance their student loans at current rates. This proposal alone would assist an estimated 25 million young people. Typical borrowers could save $2,000 over the life of their loans.

"Compact" opens with two recent graduates explaining how much they owe on their student loans. The ad then features footage of Clinton at a recent town hall explaining her cost-reducing proposals.

The new, 30-second spot is part of the campaign's ongoing buy in Iowa and New Hampshire and will run alongside previously released ads.
