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

Weakly Inferred

Hamawy supports protecting ratepayers from subsidizing energy for AI data centers and advocates for community-led resistance against data center expansion.

"One of the truest most ethical most fearless person I know is running... ratepayers from subsidizing energy usage by AI data centers."
Why this rating

[unverified quote] Depth is scored high because Hamawy has specifically addressed ratepayer subsidies and data center community impacts in press and social media. Alignment is near-maximum because he aligns with the 'grassroots revolt' against AI infrastructure and opposes cost-shifting to residents.

depth 7 : alignment 9 : confidence 90%

Worker Rights & Tech-Driven Disempowerment

inferred

Hamawy advocates for working families against billionaires and supports progressive economic policies that prioritize labor over special interests.

"building a government that works for you, not special interests... the people of New Jersey’s 12th district deserve a leader that puts our interests first, not billionaires."
Why this rating

Depth is moderate based on general platform rhetoric regarding the failure of the system to serve working families. Alignment is high as an insurgent progressive backed by 'Squad' members, implying strong support for labor protections (PRO Act) and opposition to corporate disempowerment.

depth 5 : alignment 8 : confidence 80%

Surveillance, Data Privacy & Civil Liberties

Weakly Inferred

Hamawy opposes government surveillance, specifically targeting Section 702 of FISA and the tech-enabled operations of ICE.

"Our government is... trampling on our civil rights to silence us and bully us into submission... deadline to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
Why this rating

[unverified quote] Depth is high due to specific references to FISA Section 702 and ICE's actions. Alignment is very high as he views state surveillance as a tool to 'silence and bully' citizens and 'terrorize communities.'

depth 7 : alignment 9 : confidence 90%

Social Media, Platform Power & Information

inferred

Hamawy opposes the 'wealthy and powerful few' and special interests, implying a pro-antitrust stance toward Big Tech platforms.

"the system isn’t broken – it’s working for exactly the people it was built to serve – the wealthy and powerful few."
Why this rating

Depth is lower as he hasn't detailed specific platform regulations like Section 230. Alignment is high, inferred from his radical critique of how the system is 'working for exactly the people it was built to serve—the wealthy and powerful few.'

depth 4 : alignment 7 : confidence 70%

Financial Technology, Crypto & Predatory Platforms

mostly quiet

Hamawy generally opposes predatory economic systems but has not released specific policy on digital assets or fintech.

"Both parties have failed to address the problems facing our families – affordability, healthcare, education, and so much more."
Why this rating

Depth is very low. Alignment is neutral at 5 because while his anti-billionaire stance suggests skepticism of crypto-industry influence, there is no specific signal on consumer protection or blockchain policy.

depth 2 : alignment n/a : confidence 60%
