About Jason
An AI Researcher From a Working-Class Background
Jason grew up understanding the challenges working families face. As a Pell Grant recipient and work-study student at UMass Amherst, he balanced his studies with employment at the Political Economy Research Institute, where he worked alongside economists researching living wage policies. This experience shaped his commitment to economic justice — he even published a policy brief on inflation-adjusting the Massachusetts minimum wage before graduating.
After graduating from UMass Amherst, Jason worked as a Research Assistant at Harvard University and MIT before pursuing graduate studies. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science with a Designated Emphasis in Computational Science and Engineering from UC Berkeley, where he was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow. With postdoctoral experience at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Jason currently designs evaluation frameworks for frontier AI systems. His research has been published in leading journals including the Journal of the American Statistical Association, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Statistics in Medicine, and Statistics and Public Policy.
Why Jason is Running
As someone who has spent years studying how technology and policy intersect, Jason has seen firsthand how rapid technological change threatens to displace millions of workers while concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a few tech giants. He's running for Congress because we need representatives who understand these challenges and are willing to fight for progressive solutions.
He believes that government has a responsibility to protect workers, ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare, stand up for human rights abroad, hold law enforcement accountable, and treat all living beings with compassion.
