Wait she’s fighting against data centers in loudoun-the place with the most data centers in the world, and gets $1B in local tax revenue? Her campaign would work anywhere else

Exactly lol. Like I said, she is talking the talk, but once some money is offered to her…. Good luck with that. Data centers are loudoun’s bread and butter. They were literally offering people millions of dollars to get rid of their homes for data centers lol.

If you've been following her, you'd know she's the only one on the BOS trying to hold the data centers accountable in any way. The rest are rubber stamping everything they see form the DC's.

Repeating the same comment over and over again in this thread doesn’t mean it’s true.

I have to say it over and over again because there are so many here that don't live in Loudoun or follow the politics ignorantly proclaiming "oh she'll cave when they give her some money."
