Brittany Erickson, the Democratic candidate for Iowa House District 92, said the state should impose a moratorium on new data center development while Iowans decide how such facilities should be regulated. Her district includes Washington County and portions of Johnson County, and she is seeking office in the November 3 election.

Erickson also supports legislation that would make it easier for communities to adopt local moratoriums and would require data centers to cover all of their utility costs. Her comments appeared in KCRG's statewide candidate voting guide.
