Tossing 700,000 over 800,000 to a campaign in two weeks is a staggering amount of money for a candidate who is still paying off student loans.
Roberti, who has about $7,000 in student loans he's paying on a monthly basis, said he doesn't understand why people find it so hard to believe he still has student loans. Asked why he wouldn't use his trust fund to pay off the student loans, Roberti said he went to college on student loans and pays the minimum every month.
To recap, Roberti:
For a grand total of 830K!
Talk about paid in full!
