Global technology competition

“Johnny believes the United States should be the world leader in advancing AI and emerging technologies. America must remain the primary hub for technological innovation to protect our economy and national security from threats like China and Russia.”

“Johnny understands that AI is part of the future of job creation, economic growth, and increased government efficiency, and he is committed to making sure the United States is the global leader in the artificial intelligence sector.”

“He’ll boost investment in cutting-edge defense and technology and position Austin and the Brazos Valley as America’s center for innovation—ensuring we outcompete China and strengthen our technology infrastructure and national security.”

“America should lead the world in innovation, and that starts with freedom. That means cutting burdensome regulations that slow progress and embracing pro-growth policies that power our economy and tech sector.”

“Austin, like President Trump, believes that America must win the race for Artificial Intelligence (AI) against foreign adversaries like China. The future of economic strength, national security, and technological leadership depends on it.”

“Austin supports policies that keep AI innovation in the United States, protect American intellectual property, and prevent foreign adversaries from gaining the upper hand.”

“I also share the perspective expressed by Vice President JD Vance at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris: We should not approach AI through a lens of fear, but through a lens of opportunity. America must win the race against China.”

“We can’t win the AI race without building the needed infrastructure here at home. That means investing in and utilizing the American workforce to build it, oversee it, and ensure the technology companies we use to create that infrastructure do so while respecting the principles of free speech, innovation, and our shared American values.”

“It’s vital that we win the AI race – the new space race – and promote manufacturing and infrastructure here in Texas at the federal level.”

“It's imperative that we win the new space race and beat China to the punch on AI investment and development.”

“In order to achieve this, Congress must implement policies that counter China’s investments, protect American intellectual property from theft, and ensure fair global markets while safeguarding sensitive technologies.”

“Last Congress, I introduced the Combatting Communist China Act, which would address U.S. supply chain dependence on China, prevent Chinese theft of intellectual property, and hold the Chinese government accountable for fentanyl trafficking.”

“America is once again regaining its footing on the world stage, but we can’t let up. I will push for a foreign policy that defends our sovereignty, strengthens our alliances and confronts threats like Iran, Russia and China. This includes ending the importation of foreign sources of energy, cutting our dependence on Chinese manufacturing for critical goods, stopping the theft of our intellectual property and buying up U.S. farmland.”

“Andy also succeeded in passing a law that cuts off American investment into Chinese military, surveillance, and technology companies.”

“In order to achieve this, Congress must implement policies that counter China’s investments, protect American intellectual property from theft, and ensure fair global markets while safeguarding sensitive technologies.”

“Johnny believes that the federal government should partner with American innovators to create a national standard that helps grow the sector, streamlines development, and expands access to resources, while also supporting strong domestic energy infrastructure to power AI systems without burdening consumers.”
