Policy Focus Areas

  • AM Radio

    We oppose mandates requiring AM radio in all new cars. These mandates will stifle innovation, impose unnecessary costs on automakers, increase prices for consumers, and undermine the American companies leading electric vehicle development.
  • Internet Speech

    We oppose efforts to weaken Section 230 that would limit free speech online and take away internet platforms’ ability to moderate content without fear of lawsuits.
  • Privacy

    We support a comprehensive and preemptive federal data privacy bill that protects Americans and promotes innovation, without incentivizing frivolous lawsuits.
