Thank you for this mention and for recognizing people are more than a statistic on a database.
Delegate-elect @jess4va.com knocked every door she could in her VA state house district—and the day before Election Day, a conservative voter wrote her a message that they disagreed on every policy, but by showing up to listen, she had earned his vote.

Lily's win in southwest Virginia is historic. @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social ran on energy affordability because southwest Virginians are struggling with utility costs, and she's determined to bring down their bills. www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...
Rising electric bills helped spur a Democratic upset in rural Virginia
Fossil fuels and transmission fees are driving up utility bills in southwest Virginia. New state lawmakers like Lily Franklin can help fix that.

John McAuliff flipped Virginia’s 30th House District blue by running on climate action and data center accountability. @johnmcauliff.bsky.social told @heatmap.news “I realized the biggest energy crisis in the country was right here my backyard." heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

Peter Hubbard secured a seat on the PSC after running on a strong climate platform. @peterhubbardga.bsky.social learned voters care a lot about two things: lowering their utility bills and holding data centers accountable for their impact on communities and planet. www.wired.com/story/the-da...
The Data Center Resistance Has Arrived
A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year.

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?

For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.
