Briefings

In 2026, data center construction has triggered widespread local opposition and major political campaigns, with tech money flowing into these races. Leading the Future, a super PAC backed by Marc Andreessen and Greg Brockman, spent $45 million in a year, while Public First Action, an Anthropic-backed group, also contributed to these efforts.
