What they have said
where decisions about our communities are made by the people who live in our communities, not the billionaires or data center companies in Washington, D.C.6
I've called for a two-year moratorium on data center development so that we can empower our local communities and local elected officials to negotiate with these very wealthy, powerful corporations7

Questions
How many jobs does a data center create?
It varies a lot by site and construction crews are much larger than the permanent staff that runs a site. We only show figures linked to a primary public source. A blank means we have not linked a source yet, not zero. Source
What trades build data centers?
Electricians do the largest share of the work, followed by pipefitters and HVAC mechanics for cooling, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and low voltage and controls technicians. Running sites hire data center technicians, facilities staff and security. Source
How do I find a data center job near me?
Use the Find jobs here links on this page. They go straight to each company's own careers site, the local union hall and the U.S. Department of Labor apprenticeship finder. We link out and do not host listings. Source
