Representative Tom Tiffany's anti–data center views are a deep fake.
Representative Tom Tiffany has shown time and again that he'll bend to the will of his billionaire donors. Do we really think he'll stand up to the trillion-dollar companies trying to build data centers in Wisconsin?
He voted in Congress to fast-track data centers and block the rules that protect your electric bill. David Crowley says no data center gets built unless the community says yes — and the tech company, not you, pays for it.

He cast the deciding vote for a 10-year ban on regulating AI.
Rep. Tiffany voted Yea on H.R. 1, which contained a 10-year moratorium barring states from regulating AI systems — the systems running the data centers coming to your town.

Then he voted to fast-track the buildout.
Rep. Tiffany voted Yea on the SPEED Act, which passed 221–196 and speeds up permits for data center and AI infrastructure projects — fewer reviews, less time for the public to object.

Rep. Tiffany has said he'd keep aging coal plants online to meet the power demand data centers create. Higher bills and dirtier air — to power server farms.

Representative Tom Tiffany is bought and paid for.
Robert Marchant — the sole registered lobbyist for the Wisconsin Data Center Coalition — donated $5,000 to Tiffany for Wisconsin on June 3, 2026. Rep. Tiffany has taken $135,765 from the energy and natural resources sector over his congressional career. It's why opponents call him “Toxic Tom.”

The receipts gap.

Two very different agendas
the contrastSides with the data center lobby
- Voted to block states from regulating AI for 10 years
- Voted to fast-track data center permits, with fewer reviews
- Would keep coal plants burning to power server farms
- Took campaign cash from a data center lobbyist
- Six years in Congress, zero data center bills
Puts communities and ratepayers first
“Communities should be able to make a decision whether or not they want a data center. It shouldn't be steamrolled; it should be brought to the table.”— David Crowley
- Communities decide whether a data center gets built at all
- No costs pass through to residents — not rates, not infrastructure, not cleanup
- Data centers must bring their own 100% clean renewable energy
- Community benefits required: school funding, broadband, local business access
- All construction completed by local, union labor
