Ways to reach them

What they ask for — in their own terms

Elect politicians who will keep AI lightly regulated, and secure a single federal framework that pre-empts state AI laws.

What they do

Super PAC network formed 15 August 2025, led by Zac Moffatt (R) and Josh Vlasto (D). Endorses and spends in both parties' primaries; affiliated vehicles include Build American AI (advocacy nonprofit), American Mission PAC and Think Big PAC. Targeted New York Assemblymember Alex Bores, author of the RAISE Act.

What a newcomer can do

Nothing to join — this is the opposition. Look up its spending in your race on AI Money Watch before you vote or volunteer for a candidate.

Worth knowing

UNVERIFIED against the PAC's own site — figures here come from Wikipedia, Forbes, CNBC and the FEC-based AI Money Watch tracker, and 'raised', 'pledged' and 'cash on hand' are different numbers that press coverage often conflates. Reported controversies include an AI-generated news site using fake journalist personas (April 2026), $5,000-per-video payments to influencers pushing a China-threat message (May 2026), and an FEC complaint over shell-company payments (May 2026) — all allegations reported by third parties.
