Pause moratorium on data centers.

In fact, I introduced one in Prince George's County when we were going to have one at the Landover Mall.

and Senator Van Hollen's bill that requires them to bring their own generation, their pressure on the grid is making it worse for everyone.

And then if you elect a lobbyist that is a data center lobbyist, it will get worse.

You're almost like asking for increasing utility bills.

And yet instead we have, as you said, the Oracle man is now

more richer than he ever has, and we have seniors that can't pay their bills.

In fact, my office, we're paying bills.

It's 23 now.

We had one dropout for the Democratic side.

That doesn't include the Republican side.

And it's because Horace stayed in office for almost—he stayed in office longer than I've been born.

So it is—he has been 45 years in office.

And that has caused people to have to say, this is a moment.

And I will tell you this.

The suffering—I know that we have people I'm running against that I don't know very well.

But what I know is that they're mostly laid off and federal workers.

Mm-hmm.

that are just sick of it and deciding they want to get involved.

It is the suffering that's going on that's causing the 24 people to run.
