We first met Ken at a democratic fundraiser in the hinterlands of Clarke county. We were recently added into District 6, so we will have new representation in Congress. There is an incumbent to defeat who looks out for corporate interests instead of the interests of his constituents. He needs to be replaced by Ken.
Ken gave a short version of his stump speech and hit all the right notes.
Afterwards we had a quick chat about BIML and machine learning. Ken wanted to learn more. Really. So he visited the house and we talked AI for an hour or two on the patio.
Then, as it was dinner time, we invited Ken to join us, first for a cocktail and then for juevos rancheros. We are now huge fans of Ken and can’t wait to see him in Congress. He shares our values. He wants to learn about ML/AI and benefit from its good. He understands complex issues and has nuanced and carefully-considered positions.
So when you vote early in Virginia for Harris, vote for Ken too.
