"Vichal Kumar Looks for Upset Win in NY-7."
That's the headline from Brooklyn Downtown Star today. Three local outlets covered the campaign in 36 hours. Sharing all three.

My favorite part of this campaign has been meeting neighbors across the district. A few snaps from the weekend.

Thank you for taking meaningful steps on AI on the state level. We need these protections for children on the federal level as well, and a Federal Artificial Intelligence Commission, so the public can be the driver on how AI is developed.
Both are part of my #AI plan here. Welcome feedback:

My bill, S9051B to prohibit AI companions from using manipulative features that encourage emotional dependency & other unsafe practices putting minors at risk PASSED.
As this technology becomes more integrated into our lives, NY is putting safety & accountability first.

I created a short reel on IG about @NY1's decision to only include three of four candidates on the ballot for its NY-7 congressional debate tomorrow, when 43% of voters are still undecided.
I did not expect anyone to take up the mantle. Everyone should read this.

This is exactly why we need federal leadership. A FAIC would create oversight and transparency on AI developers. kumar4ny.com/artificialintel…
Big Tech NDAs are hiding the true impacts of data center projects, concealing key details from communities.
In Roanoke, one local paper seeking more information on a data center project and its water usage received documents with those numbers redacted.
The reason? The water company had signed an NDA with Google.

Check out my interview in @Greenpointers, where I talk about:
➡️ one of my wins on the job as a public defender (thinking outside-the-box about how to meet communities' needs, i.e. providing access to tax services)
➡️addressing affordability (I've been having that conversation for 20 years now)
➡️federal policies on housing (let's fund Section 8 already)
➡️the Monitor Point project (what we really need is more permanent affordable housing)
➡️supporting small businesses (we need the G train running, and to help lower rents, i.e. let's get rid of tax incentives for corporate landowners that leave commercial spaces empty)
➡️why I'm running for Congress right now.
In this environment where institutions and systems are being torn down on a regular basis, this is the moment where we can really reimagine what they’re going to look like for people.

Small businesses are getting squeezed from every direction. Corporate conglomerates have captured the supply chain. Apps take a third of every restaurant order. Antitrust enforcement has collapsed. Commercial rent is unbearable. And on top of all of that, ICE is targeting immigrant business owners and their workers.
That's why I've released a federal roadmap that covers the different life stages for the small businesses that build our neighborhoods. 1. Starting, 2. surviving, and 3. passing it on.
