DATA PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY
In the digital age, privacy is power — and Americans have lost too much of both.
Every click, purchase, and conversation is tracked, stored, and sold. Meanwhile, cyber-attacks threaten hospitals, cities, and elections.
It’s time to treat data protection like what it really is: a national security and civil rights issue.
THE PROBLEM
Tech companies collect and monetize massive amounts of personal data with little oversight or consent.
Data breaches expose millions of Americans each year to identity theft and fraud.
Government systems and small businesses alike are under constant cyber-attack from foreign and domestic actors.
Outdated privacy laws allow companies to share data in ways most users never understand.
Critical infrastructure — power grids, water systems, and hospitals — remain vulnerable to ransomware and disruption.
Our digital defenses are only as strong as the weakest password — and right now, that password is “congress2025.”
OUR PLAN - PROTECT PRIVACY STRENGTHEN SECURITY
We’ll build a framework that defends both individual freedom and national safety:
Digital Bill of Rights — Guarantee every American control over personal data: who collects it, how it’s used, and when it’s deleted.
Universal Data Privacy Standards — Replace the patchwork of state laws with one clear national standard modeled on global best practices.
Right to Be Forgotten — Allow individuals to remove personal information from databases and search results after reasonable time limits.
Data Breach Accountability Act — Impose strict penalties and mandatory public disclosure for companies that fail to protect user data.
Critical Infrastructure Cyber Shield — Modernize and secure essential public systems with federal funding and rapid-response cybersecurity teams.
Public Sector Cyber Training — Require cybersecurity certification for federal and state IT professionals.
Election System Security Grants — Help states upgrade outdated voting equipment and defend against digital interference.
Consumer Data Dividend — Let citizens share in the profits made from their data — or choose to opt out entirely.
WHY IT MATTERS
Freedom means nothing if you have to give up your privacy to participate in modern life.
Protecting data isn’t anti-tech — it’s pro-democracy. Every American deserves to be secure online, just as we expect to be safe in our own homes.
“Your data belongs to you — not to whoever can steal or sell it fastest.”
