That is why I’m proud to have worked across the aisle to introduce legislation to safeguard federal elections by restricting the use of AI-generated content.

AI Verified The official Senate press release dated September 15, 2023 contains the quoted sentence verbatim as part of a longer statement about AI-generated deceptive election content, and that statement is explicitly attributed to Chris Coons with the wording “said Senator Coons.” ([coons.senate.gov](https://www.coons.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-coons-colleagues-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-ban-use-of-materially-deceptive-ai-generated-content-in-elections)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Verified Quote: "That is why I'm proud to have worked across the aisle to introduce legislation to safeguard federal elections by restricting the use of AI-generated content." — Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), 2023. The source_url (coons.senate.gov) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the exact quote verbatim from Coons's press release on the bipartisan Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act, which he co-introduced with Hawley, Klobuchar, and Collins to ban deceptive AI-generated content depicting federal candidates. Author attribution correct, the quote is the primary-source sponsor statement. Vote alignment correct: statement "Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates," vote "for," matching his sponsorship. Year note: 2023 quote, but it is the canonical statement of his position introducing this specific legislation. Verified on verbatim confirmation; the official Senate source page blocks automated fetching. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 27d ago
