The Dream vs. The Machines
New York was built by people who had a dream and the grit to protect it. But right now, that dream is under a $10 million high-tech assault.
We are at a breaking point. We have to decide: do we let the world’s biggest AI companies—the Metas and OpenAIs of the world—operate without a single guardrail? Or do we send someone to Washington who actually knows how to pass reasonable laws to protect our families from corporate overreach?
NY-12 is the battleground. The billionaires have the money, but New Yorkers have the vote.
Who is Dream NYC?
We aren't a boardroom; we’re a movement. Dream NYC is a grassroots-funded organization dedicated to one mission: electing Alex Bores to Congress.
Alex isn’t just another politician. He’s a fifth-generation New Yorker who learned about power not in a Silicon Valley incubator, but on a picket line standing next to his father. He’s a legislator who doesn’t just "talk" tech—he codes it, understands it, and knows exactly how to regulate it.
The Record: New York Grit in Action
Alex Bores is a fifth-generation New Yorker who has worked for everything he’s achieved. Nothing has been handed to him. From attending Manhattan public schools to standing on a picket line with his father at eight years old—watching his dad’s union fight for the healthcare his family needed—Alex learned early that if you want results for working people, you have to earn them through sweat and grit.
He doesn’t just talk about the struggle of the middle class; he’s lived it. That’s why he’s spent his career proving that New York families come before corporate bottom lines:
-
Standing Up to the Giants
Alex authored the RAISE Act—the first-in-the-nation law that forced the world's largest AI companies to put safety before profits. He’s the only one they’re truly afraid of because he’s the only one who knows their playbook and isn’t afraid to use it against them.
-
Housing for New Yorkers, Not Hedge Funds
He fought for property tax reform and Good Cause Eviction to ensure the "New York Dream" can start becoming more affordable for the people who actually live here.
-
Crushing the Scammers
He passed the law to hike fines on predatory telemarketers and scammers, punishing those who target our seniors and the most vulnerable.
-
The Voice for Equality
Alex delivered the first definitive defense of the New York Equal Rights Amendment on the Assembly floor, proving that when fundamental freedoms are on the line, he will always be the first one in the fight.
Alex Bores isn't a product of the billionaire class. He’s a product of New York grit. He’s earned his seat, he’s earned his results, and he’s ready to take that fight to Washington.
The $10 Million Smoke Screen
Be on the lookout! Right now, two Super PACs—Think Big and Lead the Future—are dumping $10 million into NY-12 to stop Alex. Why? Because Trump megadonors including Silicon Valley billionaires like Andreessen Horowitz and Joe Lonsdale want to hand-pick a representative they can control.
The irony is thick: They are attacking Alex for his past work during the Obama Administration at Palantir whose co-founder is now writing the checks to fund these attacks. They aren't mad that he worked in tech; they’re terrified that he’s using that expertise to hold them accountable.
Our Mission
Dream NYC exists to ensure that the voters of the 12th District see through the Trump megadonor noise. This primary isn’t just a race for a seat. It’s a fight for the soul of our democracy.
The oligarchs think they can buy NY-12. They clearly haven't met a New Yorker.
Join us. Let’s keep the dream alive and the machines in check.
