Alex Bores
Alex Bores is a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly, representing District 73 in Manhattan since 2023. He is best known for co-authoring the Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act), described as the furthest-reaching AI safety bill in the country, which was signed into New York state law in December 2025. He ran for New York's 12th Congressional District in the 2026 Democratic primary but lost to Micah Lasher in a race that drew national attention as a proxy war over AI regulation between competing tech-aligned super PACs.
“The super PAC spent heavily in support of New York pro-AI safety candidate Alex Bores, who lost out to fellow Democrat Micah Lasher.”
