Voters Reject Data Center Backer
from San Diego News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Imperial County voters sent a loud message this week, rejecting a candidate backed by a major data center developer in favor of an incumbent who promised transparency over special interests. Carlos Duran, who received $30,000 in campaign support from Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing — a company eyeing a massive AI data center complex — lost decisively to Alex Cardenas, who nearly doubled his vote total. The defeat signals growing local resistance to unchecked development, as residents prioritize water, power, and environmental stewardship over fast-tracked tech projects. Cardenas’ win reflects a broader regional shift: voters want leadership that serves the community, not corporate agendas. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
