Have David Crowley and Tom Tiffany both expressed support for data centers?
Wisconsin gubernatorial candidates David Crowley and Tom Tiffany have both expressed support for data centers, while differing in how they would regulate them. Crowley described data centers as an opportunity for Wisconsin to become a global artificial intelligence hub, while Tiffany supported legislation intended to accelerate permitting for such projects.
Democratic Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive, said data centers could help make Wisconsin a national and global hub for artificial intelligence and attract entrepreneurs and businesses to the state.
Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany voted for legislation to speed permitting for projects such as data centers and later called the technology exciting. He also argued that data centers are needed to prevent technology work from being outsourced to China. Both candidates have spoken favorably about data centers while emphasizing different approaches to regulation.
