Alex Bores

Last updated

In October of 2025, Bores announced his candidacy for New York's 12th district in the U.S. House of Representatives after the announcement of Jerry Nadler's retirement earlier in the month. [15] Bores' campaign has been targeted by attack advertising from the AI industry-aligned super PAC network Leading the Future. [16] [17] The group has already spent over $1.8 million in negative advertising against him. [3] [18] Politico described the super PAC's tactic as "beat up on Bores so badly that when the idea of regulating AI development comes up, other politicians run the other direction." [4]

Personal life

Bores is married to Darya Moldovskaya and has one son born in 2025. [19]
