Position on Hyperscale Data Centers

Has criticized tech influence in politics and called for community rejection power and radical transparency regarding data center water and energy demands.

Verified Quotes & Evidence

"The issue with data centers is about who gets to decide Oregon's future: the people who live here or powerful special interests with politicians like Val Hoyle in their pocket... Oregonians deserve radical transparency and a real seat at the table - and that means communities must have the power to reject a data center if they determine it isn't right for them."
