WEYERS CAVE — U.S. Rep. Ben Cline, who is seeking reelection in the 6th Congressional District, stopped by Blue Ridge Community College on Tuesday to discuss college affordability, bridging the divide between education and the work force, and eliminating red tape. He also took the time to speak against student loan forgiveness.

The 6th District in Virginia has more colleges and universities than any other voting district in the country, with the exception of one in Massachusetts, Cline said.

Cline, R-Botetourt, met with representatives of 6th District colleges and universities behind closed doors to discuss higher education, and met with members of the media afterward.

Among those who attended Cline’s roundtable discussion were Blue Ridge Community College President John Downey, and representatives of Eastern Mennonite University, Shenandoah University, Mountain Gateway Community College, Virginia Military Institute, Southern Virginia University, Radford University and Christendom College.
