# Alex Bores New York State Assembly Democrat and author of the state's RAISE Act, the AI safety bill that made him the first named target of [[Leading the Future]], the AI industry's super PAC. His 2026 congressional candidacy became the test case for whether industry money can defeat a legislator over AI regulation specifically — and the countervailing spending in his defense became the first evidence that the AI-money playbook draws its own opposition. Created as a stub on 2026-09-30 to support the [[Marc Andreessen News Log]]; needs expansion on the RAISE Act's provisions, the NY-12 race, and the committees on both sides.
