Tent revivals and sports bars: on the campaign trail for Tennessee District 9
At a campaign rally in Franklin, Tennessee, state Rep. Justin J. Pearson said he would work to stop the buildout of data centers and support a national moratorium on new facilities. The proposal was part of his broader congressional campaign platform and was not tied to a specific data center project.
Democratic congressional candidate Justin J. Pearson called for a national moratorium on data center construction during a campaign rally in Williamson County. He said the measure would protect air, water, soil and jobs, framing opposition to data center expansion as part of his broader environmental and economic agenda.
The statement came during coverage of Tennessee’s closely watched 9th Congressional District race, which pits Pearson against Republican state Sen. Brent Taylor. The article does not identify a specific data center project or describe formal legislative action on a moratorium.
