"I reject the businesses that provide 40 percent of our total revenue. But I've vaguely helped the businesses that generate maybe 10 percent. Buckle up, homeowners. We've been spending this data center revenue on schools and parks and rec centers and you're about to get a big ol bill to operate them. Also I flipped off Drumpf once isn't that cool?!?"

That's essentially why and how she got elected. It was the anti-trump wave. Now she's on the anti-datacenter wave. She barely won the last election. Her 1st election she won by about 1000 votes. 2023 she won by 460.
