I’m heading to Congress ready to hold tech oligarchs accountable.

Billion-dollar companies shouldn’t write our future for us. We will fight to pause new data centers, set real rules for AI, and put a check on Big Tech overreach.

Democrat Will Lawrence won his Michigan congressional seat following one of the most expensive races in the 2026 midterms. A co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, @WeWillMi centered his campaign on opposition to AI data centers.

"I'm fighting for a federal moratorium on new data center development, along with a pause on advanced AI development," says Lawrence.

"These developers come into small towns and they say, 'You know, we're going to suck up a bunch of water, we're going to use more energy than the current capacity of the grid, we don't know what's going to happen to your property values. But, if everything goes well, we're going to put 10 or 20 million people out of work, and if it goes poorly, we may kill everybody by accident.'"

I'm proud to have been one of the first candidates nationwide to call for reining in Big Tech and stopping AI data centers.

In Congress, I will be loudly fighting for that agenda.

I'm proud to stand with the biggest Congressional Progressive Caucus freshman class ever.

We will fight tirelessly for Congress to rein in Big Tech, stop endless war, and root out corporate corruption to lower costs.
