2026 Governor TX: won by Gina Hinojosa (D), AP call2, not yet certified · official count
Paraphrase: Her Nov 4 victory remarks did not mention data centers, per the campaign transcript; the campaign pledges above stand.9
We need an immediate moratorium on data centers to last until the legislature can meet to put in place real protections so Texans can have a seat at the table to decide if and how data centers come into their communities.10
Hinojosa campaign site, Data Centers priority, Oct 14, 2025
Lowering costs for Texans by ensuring data center companies prove households won't pay more for electricity or water, including the hidden costs passed through for grid upgrades, transmission, and new capacity.11

Hold data centers accountable and stop them from jacking up our utility bills: End sweetheart tax deals for big tech companies, guarantee large energy users like data centers fund the infrastructure improvements they need rather than passing those costs on to consumers, require new data centers to use a closed-loop system to reduce water consumption and pollution13
Talarico campaign site, Jan 2, 2026
Texas should be a leader when it comes to innovation and technology, but that only works if Texans get a say and get a share of that economic growth14
Texas Tribune, Jul 22, 2026, Jul 22, 2026
We need to ensure AI works for working people by ending sweetheart tax deals to data centers, empowering local residents to weigh in on data center construction in their communities, holding data centers accountable for polluting our water, and making AI companies pay for their own electric and water infrastructure so that those costs aren't passed onto consumers,15
Hold Data Centers Accountable Plan release, via Austin American-Statesman, Jul 22, 2026
Texas should be a leader when it comes to innovation and technology, but that only works if Texans get a say and get a share of that economic growth, and that's not what's happening right now,14

What trades build data centers?

Electricians lead, then pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and controls technicians. Apprenticeships through union halls and state programs are the main way in. Source
