Where this candidate has done the work

Each category shows whether they've engaged substantively, taken a position, or stayed quiet; not a pass/fail grade.

AI Rollout

platform

Bell views AI data center expansion with skepticism, citing negative community impacts and questioning the lack of corporate accountability.

"The growing number of Flock cameras and their serious consideration of a data center is making it... Exposing The Dark Side of America's AI Data Center."
Why this rating

Depth score of 6 reflects an explicit, public stance on the sub-topic of data center expansion and its 'dark side.' Alignment score of 8 reflects a high-accountability position emphasizing community costs over corporate profit.

Worker Rights & Tech-Driven Disempowerment

inferred

Bell supports a national minimum wage and ending corporate control over essential services, suggesting a strong pro-labor stance against algorithmic management.

"The system isn't failing by accident - it's been shaped by corporate interests at the expense of patients and providers alike."
Why this rating

Inferred from: Platform's focus on economic relief, 'wages haven’t kept up,' and opposition to corporate interests shaping systems at the expense of providers. While she doesn't name 'gig work' specifically, her healthcare platform is centered on worker autonomy over corporate/insurance algorithms.

Surveillance, Data Privacy & Civil Liberties

platform

Bell advocates for the abolition of ICE and strongly opposes the expansion of police surveillance technologies like Flock ALPR cameras.

"Ashley Bell just won her primary in NC-10 while running on a progressive platform and calling for the abolition of ICE."
Why this rating

Depth score 8 because she has taken specific, high-stakes positions on both government surveillance (ICE) and law enforcement tech (Flock/Ring). Alignment is 9 due to her 'abolition' stance, which is the most aggressive accountability position possible.

Social Media, Platform Power & Information

Weakly Inferred

Bell calls for Congress to stop letting 'Big Tech run' the country and supports structural accountability for large corporations.

"What more do you need to stop letting Big Tech run the country?"
Why this rating

[unverified quote] Depth 5 reflects a clear but general call for legislative action against Big Tech dominance. Alignment 8 because her rhetoric frames tech power as a 'Big Tech' vs 'Congress/People' structural conflict rather than a minor regulatory issue.

depth 5 : alignment 8 : confidence 60%

Financial Technology, Crypto & Predatory Platforms

inferred

Bell opposes predatory financial structures and the 'corrupting influence' of corporate lobbying, suggesting support for strict fintech regulation.

"Ashley Bell is offering change. She is running a campaign free from the corrupting influence of AIPAC and the Israel lobby."
Why this rating

Inferred from: Anti-corporate platform and explicit rejection of lobbyist influence. Her primary concern with 'Groceries, rent, prescriptions' suggests she would view extractive fintech apps as part of the affordability crisis she highlights.
