Jocelyn Benson (D) · Governor-elect2026 Governor MI: won by Jocelyn Benson (D), AP call2, not yet certified · official count
As Governor, I will put a moratorium on data centers. No data centers will be built in Michigan unless there are rules in place that make them negotiate with communities in the open, ban them from getting tax breaks and using up our water, and require them to pay for their power.5

Abdul El-Sayed (D) · U.S. Senator-elect2026 U.S. Senate MI: won by Abdul El-Sayed (D), AP call3, not yet certified · official count
Paraphrase: Supports state and local moratoriums on new data centers until protections on utility costs, water and community benefits are in place.6
Unless and until a community has its own oversight, at this point, no more data centers. We need action at the federal level.7
Saline press conference, El-Sayed campaign transcript, Jul 30, 2026
If a state government is saying, “How do we act here?” I think a moratorium makes sense.7

Paraphrase: Rolled out a plan to regulate Big Tech and data centers, including a 12-month federal moratorium on new data centers.8
All across this district, everyday Michiganders are standing up and fighting back against the Big Tech companies trying to bulldoze their communities.8
Lawrence news release, quoted by Michigan Advance via Michigan Public, Sep 18, 2026
Paraphrase: Wants a federal moratorium on all data center development.9
