Mike Rogers called for a one-year pause on data center construction as he campaigns for a Michigan Senate seat. Data centers have become a 'sleeper issue' this election cycle and are becoming the latest flashpoint in American politics. Results in some high-profile races this primary season have differed greatly from public opinion polls.
