- New York
NY Assembly member (ex-Palantir engineer); authored the RAISE Act (passed June 2025; signed by Hochul Dec 19, 2025; chapter amendment aligning with SB 53 finalized Mar 27, 2026; effective Jan 1, 2027). Ran for NY-12 and became the epicenter of the first AI-policy election: $27.41M of AI super-PAC money hit the race — $19.26M pro-safety FOR him (Dream NYC, You Can Push Back, Guardrails Alliance, the Public First network) against $8.15M from LTF's Think Big OPPOSING him — and he still lost to Micah Lasher (June 2026). The lesson both sides took: money was necessary but not sufficient, and the safety coalition's first electoral star lost on local politics.
