Michigan Senate Candidate Mike Rogers, a Republican running against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, has called for a one-year pause on data center construction across the state. Rogers stated that this moratorium is necessary to allow residents to get answers to their questions regarding such projects.
In an interview with NewsNation, the Trump-backed politician emphasized the need to address these issues thoroughly before proceeding with new data center developments.
