Candidate Position
Randy Villegas advocates for a moratorium on data center construction in the Central Valley to safeguard vital agricultural water resources and public health.
Sources & Verified Statements
“A moratorium gives the Central Valley the chance to get this right before it's too late.”
“I believe decisions about new data centers getting built should rest with the people of the Central Valley.”
“Central Valley residents have raised concerns about data centers' impacts on land, water, electricity costs and our communities. I share these concerns. That's why I support a moratorium on new data centers while Congress sets new standards that put working families first.”
