We have long advocated for comprehensive federal privacy legislation and are pleased by progress towards a law this year. Google will continue to support these efforts -- and we hope all parties come together to deliver the nationwide privacy protections Americans deserve.

Governor @AsaHutchinson and @NatlGovsAssoc are working to bring computer science education to more students nationwide. We look forward to partnering with governors to explore how @Google can support these initiatives in every state.
We must work today to prepare our students for the economy of tomorrow. Computer science education provides students with a marketable skillset with a demand that is only set to grow. I chose this as my @NatlGovsAssoc Chair’s Initiative to ensure our students are prepared.
