Comment by Mike Lee

The FCC's proposal to impose new regulations on political speech involving AI, just months before one of the most consequential elections in our history, represents a clear overstep of their regulatory authority. While I support transparency in the use of AI in campaign ads, I strongly oppose the idea of a Democrat-run federal agency single-handedly changing the rules of political engagement under the guise of regulation.

AI Verified The official June 18, 2024 press release at the provided Mike Lee Senate URL contains this passage verbatim and explicitly attributes it to Senator Lee (“said Senator Lee”), so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed. ([lee.senate.gov](https://www.lee.senate.gov/2024/6/lee-lummis-introduce-bill-to-counter-fcc-on-ai-ad-disclosures)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Verified Quote text verified verbatim via web search (matches multiple independent sources covering Lee's June 2024 bill with Sen. Lummis). The source URL (lee.senate.gov) was 403-blocked but the quote is well-attested. Mike Lee is the U.S. Senator from Utah. IMPORTANT: I corrected the vote alignment from "for" to "against". Lee opposes mandating disclosure of AI-generated political advertising via his "Ending FCC Meddling In Our Elections Act" which would BAN the FCC's proposed AI ad disclosure rule. His "I support transparency" framing is a rhetorical hedge while his actual policy action is to block the mandate. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
