Wisconsin Governor Race Over Data Centers | Milwaukee News

The Wisconsin governor’s race is boiling over as both candidates dodge outright bans on data centers while pitching new rules to tame their impact. Democrat David Crowley, who won the primary by rejecting a moratorium, now champions his “Beyonce” plan—pushing companies to bring clean energy, fund Wisconsin’s energy programs, and use union labor. Republican Tom Tiffany counters with a focus on farmland protection and opposing a tax credit for data centers, even though he’s previously supported AI regulation limits. Tiffany’s campaign has launched a sharp ad branding Crowley “Data Center David,” accusing him of cozying up to industry and letting taxpayers pay the price. With polls showing most Wisconsinites see more harm than good from these centers, voters are watching closely as this issue becomes central to the election.
