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

Vang supports a moratorium on data center construction and demands that polluters pay for the environmental impacts of AI infrastructure.

"She supports... a moratorium on data center construction, protecting public resources, and ensuring that our transition to a green economy is just and equitable."
Why this rating

[unverified quote] Depth is high because she has taken a specific, high-stakes stand on the data center sub-topic, including voting 'NO' on specific local projects. Alignment is near-maximum because she advocates for a moratorium until community and environmental protections are in place, the strongest position outlined in the rubric.

Worker Rights & Tech-Driven Disempowerment

platform

Vang prioritizes the interests of the 'Working Families Party' and seeks to empower workers over corporate tech influence.

"Mai Vang is running a people-powered campaign rooted in working people fighting to stand up to Trump, reject corporate influence..."
Why this rating

Depth is moderate; while she doesn't have a multi-point white paper on gig-work, her endorsement by the Working Families Party and her 'People-Powered' platform strongly imply support for reclassification and union rights. Her opposition to 'corporate influence' aligns with high accountability for tech employers.

Surveillance, Data Privacy & Civil Liberties

Weakly Inferred

Vang explicitly opposes surveillance technology that violates privacy and supports limiting the reach of agencies like ICE.

"surveillance tech that violates the privacy of every American. Free the..."
Why this rating

[unverified quote] Depth is 6 based on an explicit platform statement regarding surveillance tech. Alignment is very high as she frames surveillance as a violation of rights and links it to abolitionist-adjacent views on ICE, a primary user of surveillance tech.
