## Resource

Congressman Kevin Kiley, running for California’s 6th District now leaning Democratic, calls himself an independent but still formally caucuses with Republicans to keep his committee seats — a system he wants to overhaul to break gridlock. On AI, he champions federal oversight and grants for safety research, advocating for a national framework with state flexibility and regulator approval of new models. He also warns that Proposition Forty — dubbed a “billionaire tax” — could backfire by driving away wealthy job creators, reducing state revenue and raising costs for everyday Californians, citing his own early legislative work on AI as proof of his forward-thinking approach.
