Michigan House Candidate Advocates for Federal AI Data Center Moratorium

Will Lawrence, a candidate for the Michigan House and member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), called for a federal moratorium on new AI data centers during an interview with Fox News Digital on Saturday. He emphasized the need for a national discussion on the implications of developing advanced AI technologies and how to ensure they benefit the broader public rather than a select few. Lawrence expressed concerns that current practices undermine democratic principles and self-determination. He also criticized President Donald Trump and advocated for campaign finance reform, including publicly funded elections. Lawrence is competing in the Democratic primary on August 4 for Michigan's 7th district House seat, currently held by Republican Tom Barrett.
