What I've Dedicated My Life and Work To
Making Government, Markets, Business, and Technology Work for People
My whole career has been built on one idea: that government, business, and technology should work for people — not just for those who profit from them. I've spent more than twenty years making that idea real. Protecting workers from illegal surveillance. Tracking how money and influence corrupt public policy. Building safeguards that actually hold powerful institutions accountable. Creating rules for technologies that were changing people's lives before anyone in power thought to ask whether that was a good thing. I'm not a career politician. I'm a watchdog, a builder, and someone who has devoted her life to making power answer to people.
A Question That Has Guided My Work
Who is looking out for you when powerful institutions make decisions that shape your life?
Too often, the answer is no one. That's the gap I've spent my career trying to close — making hidden harms visible, complex systems understandable, and powerful institutions accountable to the people they affect."

One mission
make powerful systems answer to the people they affect
"Washington Talks. I Work."
Career politicians talk about these problems. I've spent twenty years working on them — alongside the workers, families, and communities who couldn't wait for Washington to catch up. Building real protections. Holding powerful institutions accountable. Not because it was politically convenient, but because it was right.
I Didn't Just Study These Problems. I Helped Write the Rules.
When it came to privacy, worker rights, consumer protection, and the governance of new technologies, I wasn't on the outside looking in. I was at the table — helping develop the national policies and regulatory frameworks that determined how these systems would work and who they would protect.
Advanced worker-centered protections as technology reshapes work
Worked with agencies and policy leaders on how emerging technologies affect wages, job quality, worker power, hiring, scheduling, discipline, and broader labor market dynamics.
Wrote model contract language for unions on AI at work
Helped develop practical contract language that unions can use when bargaining over AI and workplace technology. In plain terms, this means giving workers clearer protections when employers introduce tools that may affect pay, scheduling, discipline, surveillance, or working conditions.
When AI Had No Rules, I Helped Write Them
When AI and emerging technology started reshaping people's lives, there were no rules, no watchdogs, and no real accountability. I helped build them — the coalitions, the institutions, and the frameworks that brought public oversight and practical safeguards to technologies that were moving faster than anyone in power was prepared to handle.
Convening leaders across sectors
Created and scaled collaborative initiatives that brought together hundreds of founders, investors, workers, policymakers, researchers, and advocates to shape how emerging technologies are governed and deployed in society.
Built practical tools for workers and advocates
Helped build resources that make it easier for workers, unions, journalists, and policymakers to understand and respond to emerging technological and economic trends.
Advised on public safety and national defense technology oversight
Worked with companies and community stakeholders on the governance of public safety and national defense technologies, with a focus on oversight, transparency, responsible use, and public trust.
Lead national working groups tracking emerging technologies
Today, I lead national working groups that track the rollout of emerging technologies across workplaces, public safety, and national defense, helping communities and policymakers build stronger oversight and transparency.
Author of The Human Interface
Her upcoming book translates complex questions about AI, work, and power into language that workers, families, and public leaders can actually use.
Why this matters for Congress
I'm not running to start serving the public.
What Congress needs right now isn't another politician who discovers these problems on the campaign trail. It needs someone who has spent a career inside them — who knows how power works, who it protects, and how to make it answer to people instead. That's the work I've done. That's the work I'll bring to Washington."
