An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Remove Chuck Schumer From Leadership Over OpenAI Conflict of Interest

46 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Chuck Schumer must step down from Senate leadership. OpenAI just hired his daughter, Jessica Schumer, as its lead government outreach official for the Northeast — at the exact moment Congress is actively debating how to regulate the AI industry. That is a direct conflict of interest, and it disqualifies him from any leadership role over AI policy or related legislation. This isn't a technicality. Schumer is Senate Minority Leader, one of the most powerful positions in Congress. His daughter is now a paid advocate for one of the most powerful companies lobbying Capitol Hill. Any vote, negotiation, or procedural decision he influences on AI regulation is now tainted. Constituents deserve a leader whose decisions aren't shaped by his family's financial relationships with the industries he oversees. Step down from leadership now.
