And so I think there is a potential for backlash here, at least among people in Apex who are very agitated about the placement of this data.
Do you have a sense of how much this data center controversy in the district is playing in the race so far?
I'm sure it plays a significant role.
Obviously, when we did our own polling in the race, we didn't specifically ask about AI.
We were trying to see what is the pathway to victory.
Because for leaders, we deserve...
We don't have an infinite amount of resources.
We rely on 240,000 individual donors so that our candidates don't have to take corporate money so that we can truly back them and not have them unilaterally disarmed.
We saw a pathway for NIDA.
We didn't ask about AI.
But what I will tell you I think is probably having just as much, if not a bigger, impact is the fact that you simultaneously are dealing with a district where
it has had some of the most doge cuts of any district in the country.
And it has a very high number, it's one of the youngest congressional districts in the country, it has a very high number of recent college grads that we know right now have an unemployment rate of around 45%.
That feel like, and I'm sure that an AI data center is not gonna jive well with them.
Or the people who have their kids living at home right now after they graduate from UNC or whatever other schools are in the district because of automation and AI.
Interesting data point on that.
In 2022, they moved the primary to May.
It was after colleges had let out for the summer.
This time it's in March.
The college students will be there and likely be voting.
