## Resource

AI’s influence is heating up Washington as big tech pours over $37 million into congressional primaries—mostly through super PACs tied to OpenAI and Anthropic—to shape the future of AI regulation. While mostly aligned across party lines, they’re clashing in a key Manhattan Democratic primary targeting Alex Bores, a data scientist-turned-legislator who championed strict AI transparency laws. OpenAI backs federal oversight, Anthropic favors state-level control—exactly the divide playing out in Bores’ race. Meanwhile, federal moves like restricting foreign access to Anthropic’s models show the stakes are rising. Even quieter races, like Montana’s GOP primary, are getting turbocharged by AI-linked cash—with PACs subtly steering voters through candidate-focused ads rather than AI debates.
