2020 KS Senatorial race: on Technology


Dave Lindstrom: Rural broadband must be a top priority

Revitalizing our rural areas will hinge as much on expanding broadband internet access as it might on efforts to recruit new factories or new agriculture-related enterprises. We need to ensure that the tools necessary for individuals to rise up and fulfill their entrepreneurial potential are in place in our rural communities. Rural broadband must be a top priority as part of any infrastructure effort coming from Washington.

Dave Lindstrom: Revisit libel laws & media protections

The media is too often a willing accomplice in the demonization of Americans whose only offense is exercising their freedom of speech. It's why Dave proposes that our libel laws be revisited. The protections once afforded the press were enacted with an expectation of a responsible fourth estate that would put truth above politics and personal agendas. While some of those publications and outlets exist today, they exist as a rare bright spot in a dim industry.

Dave Lindstrom: Make critical infrastructure a priority

Dave knows that since the rebound of the economy following the 2017 tax reform, revenues have jumped by billions of dollars. Those dollars should have been used to address critical needs and pay down debt. The money is there to address the need over a reasonable window of time, but it will take actual will and commonsense to make it a priority. Dave will be a strong voice to push this debate and make critical infrastructure a priority.

Pat Roberts: Risk of identity theft higher with advanced tech

Advances in technology and the ease with which individuals can share financial and other personal information has heightened the risk of identity theft and the need to safeguard this information. In recent years, Congress has approved legislation to strengthen consumer protection laws with regard to how personal and financial information is shared and used. However, consumers should also take steps to protect themselves against identity theft. The Federal Trade Commission is an excellent resource for consumers who want to learn more about how to safeguard their personal information. Congress is also working on legislation to strengthen identity theft laws.

I also encourage Kansans to take advantage of a recent law that allows individuals to obtain a free copy of their credit report from each of the credit reporting agencies once a year. Free reports from each agency are available through a single source: http://www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.
