Alex Bores for Congress in NY-12
Big Tech billionaires are spending millions to stop Alex Bores from getting to Congress.
That tells you everything you need to know.
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Alex Bores for Congress in New York’s 12th District — a progressive fighter taking on corporate power, billionaire influence, and the growing threat unchecked AI poses to our democracy, economy, and daily lives.
At a time when too many politicians are afraid to challenge the tech oligarchs reshaping our society, Alex already has — and won.
Taking on the Tech Oligarchs
Alex Bores became one of the country’s leading voices on AI accountability after writing and passing the RAISE Act, widely regarded as the strongest AI safety law in the nation.
That’s exactly why billionaires tied to OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, and Palantir launched a multi-million-dollar campaign to defeat him.
This race has become one of the clearest national battles over whether elected officials will regulate Big Tech — or allow a handful of billionaire corporations to control the future unchecked.
As Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese put it:
“This race is a marquee fight between those who want AI regulated and those who believe AI should be free from any type of government oversight.”
The New York Times described Alex as “a congressional candidate feared by the tech oligarchs.”
And for good reason.
Alex understands this issue in a way almost no one else in Congress does. He became the first Democrat elected in New York State with a degree in computer science, and TIME Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world on AI.
But Alex isn’t just talking about the dangers of AI — he’s actually fighting to do something about them.
His agenda includes:
- Strong federal AI safeguards and accountability
- Data privacy protections
- Child online safety measures
- Protections against deepfakes and abuse
- Preventing corporate monopolization of AI technology
- Protecting workers and consumers from unchecked corporate exploitation
A Progressive Rooted in Labor and Working-Class Politics
Alex’s politics were shaped long before he ran for office.
He grew up marching with his parents on union picket lines during his father’s labor dispute, watching firsthand what happens when corporations put profits over people.
That experience shaped his lifelong commitment to workers’ rights, healthcare justice, and collective action.
Before entering elected office, Alex helped workers recover stolen wages and fought corporate abuse as an organizer and advocate.
Now in the State Assembly, he has built a reputation as one of New York’s most effective lawmakers — passing legislation to crack down on junk fees, protect consumers, strengthen workers’ rights, and lower hidden healthcare costs.
The Center for Effective Lawmaking named him New York City’s most effective new legislator.
A Bold Agenda for Working People
Alex Bores is running for Congress because he believes government should work for working people again — not billionaires and corporate lobbyists.
He’s campaigning on:
- Medicare for All
- Building millions of units of affordable and public housing
- Expanding workers’ rights and union protections
- Taking on corporate price gouging
- Taxing the wealthy and closing loopholes for billionaires
- Protecting democracy from oligarchic influence
- Abolishing ICE and defending civil liberties
- Investing in climate infrastructure and public transit
While other politicians talk vaguely about standing up to Trump and corporate power, Alex already has — and that’s why Trump-aligned megadonors and tech billionaires are trying so hard to stop him.
This Race Is Bigger Than One District
NY-12 has become a national test case.
Can billionaires buy Democratic primaries and intimidate lawmakers into submission?
Or can a grassroots movement elect leaders willing to stand up to concentrated corporate power?
Alex Bores is proving that voters are hungry for leaders who will actually fight back.
Our Revolution is proud to stand with him.
When we organize, we win. ✊
