In a recorded message commemorating Data Privacy Day, 8th District Rep. Matt Boehnke urges state agencies, industry leaders, and his fellow lawmakers to “work together to pass sound legislation that prioritizes the protection of our citizens.” Last year, data breaches skyrocketed 500% in Washington.

“We must continue to educate and inform, be transparent and accountable, and learn from past mistakes to deliver better results for those who count on us to serve them well,” Boehnke continues.
