## Resource

State Rep. Vikki Goodwin, running for lieutenant governor, is sounding the alarm on Texas’s exploding data center boom, warning it’s straining water and power supplies at a time when communities are already struggling. She’s pushing for an emergency legislative session to demand transparency, protect local resources, and give communities a voice in approving these massive facilities — all while calling for a review of costly tax breaks. Goodwin insists this isn’t anti-business, but a “pro-Texas” move to safeguard families, farmers, and infrastructure from long-term damage.
