Alexander Bores

Artificial Intelligence Regulation

Supports strong regulatory guardrails on AI companies, including transparency and safety requirements.

Bores gained national attention as a New York state legislator for sponsoring AI safety legislation (the RAISE Act), which drew significant opposition and ad spending from AI industry groups like those backing OpenAI and Palantir during his NY-12 congressional campaign.

Campaign Finance / Corporate Influence

Critical of unchecked corporate and industry spending in elections, framing his campaign as standing up to powerful tech interests.

News coverage highlights that Bores's race became a proxy battle over AI industry money in politics, with his campaign portrayed as targeted by well-funded opposition from tech interests.

Technology Industry Accountability

Advocates for holding large technology and AI companies accountable to public interest standards rather than allowing self-regulation.

His record as a state legislator pushing AI safety rules, and the industry's aggressive response, suggest a policy stance favoring stronger oversight of tech companies.

Israel-Palestine / Foreign Policy

Position not directly documented; scrutiny has focused on his father's controversial remarks rather than his own stated policy.

A Jewish Insider report focused on comments made by Bores's father regarding Israel and Zionism, raising questions about the campaign's associations, but did not detail Bores's own foreign policy platform.

Redistricting

Involved in or affected by New York congressional redistricting dynamics ahead of the 2026 cycle.

Politico coverage of 'who's who in redistricting' suggests Bores is a notable figure in discussions about how New York district lines may shift, though his specific position on redistricting policy is not detailed.

General Campaign Platform

Running as a Democrat in the competitive NY-12 primary, positioning himself around tech accountability and progressive priorities.

Coverage from PoliticsNY and Emerson polling data frame Bores as a notable candidate in a crowded, well-funded NY-12 Democratic primary field, though detailed platform specifics beyond AI policy are not extensively covered in available grounding.
