Comment by Amy Klobuchar
U.S. senator from Minnesota
Right now, we're seeing AI used as a tool to influence our democracy. We need rules of the road in place to stop the use of fraudulent AI-generated content in campaign ads. [...] This commonsense, bipartisan legislation would update our laws to prohibit these deceptive ads from being used to mislead voters no matter what party they belong to.

Quote attributed to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (2025), lead sponsor of the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act (S.1213), reintroduced March 31, 2025 — matching the statement "[Congress, Mar 2025] Prohibiting deceptive AI-generated media of federal election candidates." The Senate press release URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the quote text ("Right now, we're seeing AI used as a tool to influence our democracy. We need rules of the road in place to stop the use of fraudulent AI-generated content in campaign ads... This commonsense, bipartisan legislation would update our laws to prohibit these deceptive ads from being used to mislead voters") was corroborated verbatim across multiple search results tied to this exact bill. Vote alignment is correct: as the bill's lead sponsor seeking to prohibit deceptive AI media of candidates, a vote of "for" accurately reflects her position. Year current (2025). (Note: this opinion replaced an outdated 2024 quote from Ishan Mehta, who left Common Cause in March 2025.) Verified.
