I am not sure that this is the best way to evaluate which candidate is best in this regard. Your goal is to get action taken. Surely someone who is the most persuadable and the most rational would be a better metric. A politician who says, ‘AI is an existential threat to humanity and action needs to be taken,’ may not be serious about the issue—they might just be saying things that they think will sound cool/interesting to their audience.
In any case, regardless of my particular ideas of how to evaluate this, I think that you need better metrics.
