Side-by-side comparison of candidate stances on AI hyperscale data center moratoriums, electricity rate hikes, water depletion, and Super PAC funding.
Candidate Position
Budzinski insists that data center decisions remain under local community control and pledges not to support construction until developers prove they will pay 100% of power costs without shifting bills to consumers or endangering grid reliability.
Sources & Verified Statements
“The development of data centers should be decided at the local level, by the very communities that will be impacted. I cannot and will not support the construction of data centers in our communities until developers can demonstrate how they will cover 100% of the costs required to power their facilities, without shifting any costs to consumers or threatening the reliability of our electrical grid.”
Candidate Position
Wilson demands complete transparency with 'no back room deals' and local jurisdictional control, requiring proof of genuine long-term economic benefits, full resource disclosure, and zero cost increases for local water and electricity ratepayers.
Sources & Verified Statements
“No back room deals. Development requires genuine long-term economic impact, disclosure of power and water needs with developer-borne costs, and proof that community electricity and water rates do not increase.”
