Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) today supported the passage of the Judicial Redress Act to protect privacy rights of citizens in U.S.-allied countries.

"Our allies provide our citizens basic privacy protections. The least the United States can do is reciprocate in kind. The current inconsistency breeds distrust and harms the competitiveness of American businesses trying to serve customers around the world," DelBene said. "The Judicial Redress Act is an important step for the United States to demonstrate it takes privacy in the digital age seriously, but we still have much more to do."
