Utah Senator Falls in Data Center Battle

Utah’s Senate President J. Stuart Adams just got ousted in the Republican primary after backing the controversial Stratos data center — a project he later tried to distance himself from, sending letters demanding scaling back and even campaign flyers bragging about being tough on data centers. Voters weren’t fooled, sending a clear message that local voices matter more than political flip-flops. Meanwhile, the data center still faces hurdles, and Adams isn’t alone — another Republican commissioner lost, and another’s race is tight. Stephanie Hollist, Adams’ opponent, is now expected to win easily, signaling a powerful voter backlash against big development projects that don’t serve their communities.
