Pro-AI network Leading the Future wades into first set of state legislative races
The pro-AI network Leading the Future has announced its first slate of endorsements for state legislative races, backing Republican incumbents and candidates across several states. The network has amassed a war chest of $100 million and is pushing for a federal framework around AI regulation.
The pro-AI network Leading the Future is entering state legislative races, announcing endorsements for Republican candidates in multiple states, including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah. The network has raised over $140 million, with donors including Marc Andreessen and OpenAI's Greg Brockman. Leading the Future plans to support Democratic state lawmakers soon and is pushing for a federal AI regulation framework. The network's affiliates have already spent money in congressional primaries, opposing Democratic candidate Alex Bores and supporting former Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Melissa Bean. The decision to enter state legislative races highlights the growing focus on downballot elections by outside interest groups. Leading the Future's co-strategist Zac Moffatt stated that the network is backing legislators who recognize the opportunity to lead in AI innovation.
