The Democratic presidential candidate and Massachusetts senator is a former special education teacher who often talks about her early hopes to work in education. “Let’s get a person with real teaching experience.

A person who understands the crushing burden of student debt on students and young professionals and who is committed to actually doing something about it,” Warren wrote in the e-mail blast.
