Public First Action, a bipartisan advocacy group backing stronger artificial intelligence safeguards, said Tuesday it has raised more than $80 million since its launch, including $20 million over the past 10 days, marking one of the largest fundraising efforts centered on AI policy during the 2026 election cycle.
The organization said the recent influx of donations reflects growing support for candidates who favor AI oversight and regulation. According to Axios, Public First Action argued that the fundraising momentum comes as groups opposing stricter AI regulations have increased political spending in federal and state races.
