Export Control and Compute Governance

Government control or restriction of advanced AI capabilities through trade, export, or compute access.

Proposed the Full AI Stack Export Promotion Act which requires the U.S. government to actively help allies and partner nations adopt American-made artificial intelligence technologies, infrastructure, and standards

Data Centers

Positions on the development, regulation, or public impact of data center infrastructure as it relates to AI, including energy consumption and grid reliability concerns tied to AI workloads.

Advocates for building data centers but says that these "large projects must be pursued responsibly. Our local leaders and residents should always examine environmental impacts, water and power usage, and the fairness of tax incentives. But blanket opposition is short-sighted and risks sacrificing long-term prosperity. Saying “no, always no” only ensures that jobs and investment will go elsewhere, or worse, that China will gain an advantage over the United State"

Jobs and Workforce Disruption

Positions on AI-driven job displacement, reskilling programs, unemployment policy, and tax policy for distributing AI-driven wealth.

Believes that AI has enormous potential to improve economic efficiency and create more jobs over the long term
