“Jake called for a federal pause until the basic standards from his plan on data centers are guaranteed: protecting natural resources, not passing energy costs off to local taxpayers, ensuring economic gains stay in local communities, and banning secret deals and NDAs.”

“I support a moratorium on data centers until we know that Southern Minnesota is getting a fair deal. This means no new data centers in our communities unless they ensure that our electrical bills don’t go up, that our land and resources are protected, that the economic gains are realized here in southern Minnesota, and that there is an open process with no secrets around these projects. Out of state tech giants should not be taking advantage of our communities to make massive profits for their investors and executives. And if they can’t meet these rules, we shouldn’t be building them.”

“Local officials should not be bound by nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) that keep residents in the dark about data center plans. Companies need to make legally binding disclosures about what exactly they are going to build, what electricity and water they will use, and what impacts it will have on our water, air, and way of life.”

“And it’s why the first set of legislation I will pursue in the U.S. Senate will be an anti-corruption package to ban super PACs and corporate PACs, ban partisan gerrymandering, and increase transparency and accountability in all branches of government.”

“Promote ethical governance and transparency”

“I stand by them as they advocate for survivors everywhere and am fully committed to fighting for the full release of the Epstein files”

“FACT: Zach Dembo has long called for the Epstein files to be released while Ralph Alvarado has stayed quiet on the issue until last week to smear our campaign.”

“So I don’t care if Democrats or Republicans are hurt by the release of the Epstein files, we need to be transparent and we need to make sure that we aren’t protecting the rich and the powerful at the expense of normal, hardworking Kentuckians […] When asked, that is what I say: that they should absolutely release these files.”

“I’ll fight to bring federal agencies out of the shadows and ensure no one is above the law.”

“She will work to strengthen transparency laws, and ensure that the public can clearly see how decisions are made and how taxpayer dollars are spent.”

“When Republican leaders in the Legislature blocked access to government records, Jeremy built a bipartisan coalition to push for greater transparency in Lansing.”

“It’s disgraceful that Jeff Crank refused to meet with his constituents, Sky and Amanda, and then voted to cover up the Epstein files until his hand was forced.”

“Jeff Crank has always been loyal to Donald Trump over his constituents, including covering up the Epstein files. That’s unacceptable, and I will always stand up for this community and its constituents.”
