Campaign siteWhere 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
mostly quietLikely to support community-led AI oversight and labor protections given his 'equitable development' framework.
"policymaking has centered on corporate interests, political convenience, and systems that benefit the few while harming many."
Why this rating
Depth is low as he has no specific AI mentions. Alignment is a neutral placeholder, though his platform emphasizes confronting 'systems that benefit the few while extracting from the many,' suggesting a skeptical view of corporate-led infrastructure expansion.
depth 2 : alignment n/a : confidence 30%
Worker Rights & Tech-Driven Disempowerment
inferredSupports worker-centric economic policy and opposes corporate extraction from working people.
"one shaped not by lobbyist talking points but by listening to and serving with working people, organizing on the ground, standing up to economic predators."
Why this rating
Inferred from: Platform's focus on 'Economic Security' and fighting for 'working people' against 'corporate talking points.' His commitment to an 'inside fight' for those whose 'lived realities' are ignored by lobbyists strongly aligns with pro-labor and anti-algorithmic management positions.
depth 4 : alignment 7 : confidence 60%
Surveillance, Data Privacy & Civil Liberties
inferredLikely to support limits on law enforcement and government surveillance that disproportionately target marginalized communities.
"District 30 deserves representation rooted in the lived realities of everyday people... confronting racism in policy and practice."
Why this rating
Inferred from: Focus on 'Environmental Justice: Confronting Racism' and 'Justice-Oriented Governance.' A candidate focusing on systemic racism and 'restoring public trust' typically supports biometric bans and privacy protections as part of a civil rights agenda.
depth 4 : alignment 7 : confidence 50%
Social Media, Platform Power & Information
mostly quietLikely supports net neutrality and digital equity to close the digital divide.
"educational justice fueled by a love for and belief in humanity that crafts policies for all to thrive."
Why this rating
Depth is minimal, but his 'Educational Justice' and 'Equitable Development' focus implies support for broadband access as a fundamental right for under-resourced districts.
depth 2 : alignment n/a : confidence 40%
Financial Technology, Crypto & Predatory Platforms
statedStrongly opposes predatory lending tech and payday/car-title loan industries that extract wealth from the poor.
"My activism against the payday and car title loan industry reflects a clear value: no one should be trapped in cycles of debt simply because they are poor."
Why this rating
Depth is high because this is a centerpiece of his record and platform. Alignment is maximum progressive due to his active 'activism against' these industries and framing them as 'economic predators' that trap people in 'cycles of debt.'
depth 7 : alignment 9 : confidence 90%
