In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I just want to first say, as a recovering computer science major, I think it is horrible for the AI industry to run wild, we need to have reasonable guardrails.”
Transcript: Rep. Ted Lieu on 'Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,' May 10, 2026May 10, 2026 · Press · CBS News — Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan · source
“It is truly an honor to serve as your voice in Washington. This country made it possible for my hardworking immigrant parents to realize their dreams of a better life. Now, I'm working in Congress to ensure that working and middle-class families have those same limitless opportunities today. At this critical moment, with too many Americans struggling to make ends meet, I am fully committed to delivering for our communities. And I am fighting to defend our values, our rights, and our democracy against extremism, corruption, and chaos.”
