People feel like so angry at the leadership of both parties for rolling out the red carpet for big tech.
This is something that Trump has been all on board for.
It's something that our governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has been all on board for.
And people see that.
People see how our congressional delegation and our state legislators have also been silent or at worst actively abetting these data centers coming into our communities.
So in that context, it's just reinforcing what we already know, which is that people feel ripped off by both political parties.
People feel that both parties are in league with the billionaires in Silicon Valley and Wall Street.
more than they give a damn about the working class or regular people across Michigan.
And when somebody just shows up and is willing to listen and say, hey, you're not crazy for fearing this behemoth data center coming into your front yard, and you shouldn't take kindly to people coming in and lecturing to you about why it's actually a great thing, people respond well to that.
And that's why I'm earning trust of people of all political persuasions across the district who are impacted by this issue.
I do support a wealth tax because it is unsustainable and obscene.
I mean, again, I'm an organizer and I'm a public servant.
I spent my last five years most focused on the housing crisis here in mid-Michigan.
And you may be surprised to hear that even in Lansing, Michigan, the rent is way too damn high.
I don't think there is an affordable place anywhere in my district or anywhere in the country these days, frankly.
And I was just talking yesterday with
a good friend who I met because we were helping her to fight a mass eviction with her neighbors.
And she ended up fighting that eviction, getting time and money to successfully relocate.
But now her new landlord is raising her rent 50%.
And she is gonna have to, she's not gonna be able to pay it.
