Game developer Brianna Wu is a very recognizable name in the gaming industry. Unfortunately she is so very recognizable because she was one of the main targets of the hate group that called themselves GamerGate. Wu was relentlessly harassed on social media and she received numerous death threats.

She stood up against GamerGate, and now she wants to stand up for women in the tech industry in Congress. VentureBeat said that Wu confirmed to them that she is serious about a run for the U.S. House of Representatives, and while she hasn’t officially announced her run yet, she is currently assembling a team of advisers. To that team, she plans to add legal experts on cyber-bulling and revenge porn.

Wu posted a picture teasing her run to her Facebook page. The image reads “She fought the Alt-Right and Won. Now She’s Fighting for All of Us.”

“The reason I decided to run is simple: [President-elect Donald] Trump is terrifyingly now in the White House. I can’t sit by making pleasant video game distractions for the next four years while the constitution is under assault. Hillary [Clinton] ran a brave marathon, and now it’s time for women of my generation to pick up that baton and commit to public service,” Wu told VentureBeat.

This morning Wu posted a series of tweets further explaining why she thinks running for office is the next step in fighting the harassment that women face.

3/ We're getting diminishing returns on writing and speaking out about harassment. I think next step is running for office and passing laws. — Brianna Wu (@Spacekatgal) December 21, 2016

5/ My message is straightforward: If they won't get it done, I will. I realize standing for women is a core value of who we are as Democrats — Brianna Wu (@Spacekatgal) December 21, 2016

In her interview with VentureBeat, Wu says her agenda will be mostly economic, and that she will focus on helping secure funding for more start-up tech companies in Massachusetts. She also has her sights set on serving on the House’s technology subcommittee. For more details on her plans, check out the rest of her interview with VentureBeat.
