My colleagues & I sent a letter to Betsy DeVos this week requesting she pay $5.3 million in unpaid fines for election violations ahead of her confirmation hearing before the Senate.

Here is an excerpt from our letter: “If confirmed as Secretary of Education, you would be responsible for administering our nation’s student loan programs and ensuring that borrowers repay their loans in a timely manner. However, the PAC that you chaired failed to pay fines that were imposed on it over eight years ago. This demonstrates a serious lack of judgment by the PAC’s board and a willingness to avoid paying legally obligated public debts.”
