Privacy & Cybercrime

As a longtime member of the Technology and Economic Development Committee, I was part of a team that worked to find the best solutions to protect people’s personal data, take action against bad actors, and to establish boundaries on how corporations can use data. There is a divide on how to do this, but it is not a partisan divide. What I learned is that we do need laws, but many do not properly understand the issue, or believe it’s too late to change the status quo. I believe that this is an essential task, and we must find a balance that will protect consumers while not stifling innovation.
