Friend, it's Andrew. Before I ask you to support my re-election campaign, [[link removed]] I've got some frustrating news.
Trump and Congress are trying to block commonsense AI safeguards like my RAISE Act, which would protect New Yorkers from threats like AI-generated bioweapons. ⬇️

Friend, what Donald Trump is doing — threatening to sign an executive order to block any legislation that regulates AI — is really bad, and really dangerous.
Ensuring powerful AI technology isn't used for harm is literally a matter of life and death. Trump and Congressional Republicans claim they want a national AI safety standard, but we all know that's a lie.
The truth is, their Big Tech overlords don't want any regulation at all, and it's a lot cheaper for them to buy off the president and Congress than it is to try and buy off 50 state legislatures. Plus, we’re not for sale.
If the federal government won't act to keep people safe, states like New York must. That's why I'm so passionate about my RAISE Act, and all the other common-sense bills I work on in Albany.
Friend, my job as a state senator is to serve our district and work to make sure our state is as safe as it possibly can be — and I'm going to fight whoever I need to to make that happen. But I'm counting on you to help me keep fighting. Can you chip in to support my re-election campaign today while eligible donations can still be matched up to 12x by the state? [[link removed]]
CHIP IN [[link removed]]
In solidarity,
