Hochul Wise to Prioritize Cybersecurity

Chris Carney authored the opinion piece “Letter: Hochul wise to prioritize cybersecurity” for auburnpub.com. In the letter, Chris urges legislators to “follow in Gov. Hochul’s digital footsteps and promote security in cyberspace, not push misguided legislation that would undermine it.” He further posits that “ensuring competition online is certainly admirable, too, but Congress needs to change course and make sure anti-monopoly measures don’t come at the expense of innovation, public safety and our national security.”

Chris represented Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District for two terms and was a tenured professor of political science specializing in international relations at Penn State University. Prior to running for Congress, he worked at the Pentagon for four years on strategic analysis of the global terrorist threat, ran the Department of Defense’s Policy Counterterrorism Evaluation Group (PCTEG) and was the “Special Projects” intelligence officer for two tours during Operation Southern Watch. Chris received a Presidential appointment as a Commissioner on the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission (MCRMC) and served as a Senior Intelligence Specialist for the National Aviation Intelligence Integration Office (NAI2O).
