OpenAI-Backed Super PAC Deploys $2.4M Against AI Regulator in Manhattan Race

Leading the Future, funded by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, Marc Andreessen, and Joe Lonsdale, has spent $2.4 million attacking assemblyman Alex Bores in New York's 12th Congressional District primary ahead of the June 23rd vote. Bores authored some of the first state-level AI regulations. The sustained campaign signals how quickly the technology industry mobilizes politically against candidates with regulatory expertise as AI governance moves to federal level.
