In the face of new technologies, I have a clear vision for our future.
Jobs have been replaced with chatbots. Data centers are turning farmland into slop factories, draining our lakes and driving up our electric bills. AI companies are racing to become too big to fail before the bubble pops.
I've written software for doctors, self-driving cars, a stock exchange and the 2016 presidential campaign. I know these new technologies will affect every part of our lives.
Congress is listening to CEOs and prioritizing corporate profits. We need:
- Laws that protect people, our environment and our future
- Someone in Congress who can read code & supervise how the government is using these technologies
- A tax system that protects Social Security and Medicare forever
Regulation can't wait. I will make AI work for all of us.

AI is a crisis. Congress doesn't understand what it needs to regulate.

We are in a fight for the future of America: it's time to act like it.

We are in a fight for America: it is time to act like it.
The biggest threat to our country is this president.
My current Representative voted against impeaching Trump. He also takes money from the same corporations he is supposed to regulate.
But, corruption goes beyond any one person - we need bold reforms:
- Abolish ICE and prosecute agents who have committed crimes
- Ban insider trading by elected officials
- Investigate all political bribes
- Radically reform the Supreme Court
- Uncap the House of Representatives so we have equal representation
I won't accept corporate donations or support from super PACs like AIPAC. And I will vote to impeach Trump for every crime he commits.

Working people built this country. It's time they had someone who fights for them.

Our economy should work for us, not just billionaires.
I have been a union member and a union organizer. I spent my career fighting to make our software work for the people who depend on it. But the system is rigged against us.
Working people deserve more. Here’s how we get there:
- Build housing where the jobs are
- Reform the immigration system to build our working class
- Make a $15 minimum wage a reality and index it to inflation
- Strengthen worker’s rights to organize
- An Infrastructure Bank to support constant investment in our futures
Working people built this country. It’s time they had someone in Congress who fights with them.

Universal healthcare is good for workers, good for small businesses, and good for the country.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · bethfordemocracy.com
Healthcare is a human right and abortion is healthcare.
We don't need politicians playing doctor. Your body is yours. Every American should be able to afford the care they need.
Unfortunately, we are far from that today. To get there, I will:
- Make sure everyone has primary care by expanding support for Community Health Centers
- Relentlessly defend access to abortion and LGBTQIA+ care
- Establish a just transition to Medicare For All
- Improve Social Security to better serve disabled Americans
- Restore funding for the VA

We know how to build software well. It is time for the government to learn.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · bethfordemocracy.com
DOGE is what happens when out-of-touch billionaires aren’t held accountable. Elon Musk stole your data and wrecked the government.
Congress doesn’t seem to understand what just happened, but I do. I’ve spent my career standing up to people like Elon Musk and his fanboys.
While my Representative needs lobbyists to explain how tech works, here’s what I will do:
- Read the code DOGE wrote and find out what they did with our data
- Protect our privacy and stop AI deep fakes
- Have government agencies build software that works well
Americans deserve representatives who understand the technology we all rely on.

America's foreign policy should create a stable world.
source ↗ (opens the page at this passage) · bethfordemocracy.com
We need a stable, measured foreign policy. That is why the Constitution says Congress must establish tariffs and start wars.
But Congress has abandoned its duty. And the problem didn't start with Trump. I protested the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, opposed our torture program and spoke out against the drone assassinations.
Now warfare is changing. We will need diplomacy to face the age of drones and AI. In Congress, I will:
- End the war in Iran and oppose all wars of aggression
- Work for a future of freedom and dignity for all Israelis and Palestinians and end U.S. support for apartheid and genocide
- Stop the tariff chaos and reclaim Congress' power
- Support Ukraine’s right to resist the invasion
- Impeach Trump for any and all crimes he commits
America’s foreign policy shouldn’t be about what makes money for defense contractors. It should create a just and peaceful world.

Each report’s own period, as filed with the FEC; a report filed again counts once, as its latest copy.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Sep 30, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 27 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| 8 contributions · 33% of ranked | $46,133 |
| Written instead of an employer · 53 contributions · 13% of ranked | $18,215 |
| Written instead of an employer · 31 contributions · 7.6% of ranked | $10,490 |
| 4 contributions · 5.6% of ranked | $7,750 |

A further $130 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($84,887) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $70 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $231,453
