Position on Hyperscale Data Centers

Two 2026 TV ads call for a data-center moratorium. Counterweight story (oppo, context only): Wisconsin Technology Council board member and $30K Senior Visiting Fellow at Third Way — both promoted data-center development including Microsoft Mount Pleasant and Meta Beaver Dam; campaign declined comment (Center Square). Primary rival Emily Berge endorsed a federal moratorium (lost the primary — context only).
