Pallone on the American Privacy Rights Act

Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) released the following statement on the American Privacy Rights Act:

"It’s outrageous that Republican Leadership would interfere with the Committee’s bipartisan regular order process. I commend Chair Rodgers for her dedication to giving Americans back control of their data. 

"This is a dire problem that Congress needs to solve. It is too important to the American people to not get this done. 

"I’m committed to continuing to work with Chair Rodgers – we’re not giving up. The Energy and Commerce Committee is the only Committee that has had the willingness to take on Big Tech on behalf of the American people. 

"This Committee has a history of taking on the hard problems. If this was easy somebody else would have done it already."
