Talarico’s Data Center Event Exposed | US News
Description
Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico held a high-profile data center roundtable in Abilene — but local reporters were shut out, handing exclusive access to national outlet MS Now. Claiming residents needed privacy to speak freely, Talarico split the event into private chats and a tightly controlled media scrum, steering questions strictly toward data centers. The move drew backlash from local media, especially after it emerged some “residents” were actually Democratic state house candidates. With Abilene poised for a major AI infrastructure boom and Talarico locked in a tight race, this is his first major public clash with local press — as he leans on national coverage and campaign videos to push his pro-regulation message.
