Setting the Record Straight: My Stance on Economic Growth

(Originally posted to Facebook on May 20 at 10:40 PM)

I need to clear up a couple of things that Google’s AI system has completely wrong about my platform.

Google has shown statements saying things like I want to “remove delays for private‑sector data centers” and that I am focused on “attracting private‑sector developments, including data centers.”

Neither of those statements is true.

I have never supported blanket fast‑tracking, removing delays, or giving special treatment to any private‑sector data center or any other private‑sector project. I have also never made a promise to attract data centers specifically.

I am actually quite leery of large data centers. A data center can be anything from the size of a closet to the massive hyperscale projects, like the 40,000‑acre one being proposed in Utah, and those huge facilities come with serious questions about water, power, noise, and long‑term impacts.

My position is simple: every project, whether it’s a data center, a manufacturing facility, or anything else, should be evaluated individually based on its impacts on water, power, noise, infrastructure, community resources, and the environment.

I support fair, consistent processes for all businesses. No special deals, no shortcuts, and no blanket promises. Economic development should benefit the community, protect our resources, and keep Natrona County a great place to live.

This situation also shows the danger of AI summaries. When researching any candidate, please check the original sources or, even better, go to their website, Facebook page, or contact them directly for clarification.

I’m posting this publicly so the record is clear and so Google has the correct information to reference going forward.
