Adalila Camal Vargas, 45, is a beverage cashier working in Las Vegas. She didn't want to attend college, but when her daughter in 2015 wanted to attend a nine-month program to become a nursing assistant, Camal Vargas, a member of Culinary Workers Union Local 226, took out a loan worth $27,000 to help cover the costs.
She owes about $2,000 now. Camal Vargas, a Democrat, said she expects to pay it off before any debt relief announcement is made, but she is still in favor of relief for those who are struggling.
