Dem Senate hopeful flip-flops on emerging issue impacting communities across US

Former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown once praised data center expansion, records show, even as he now runs on a platform opposing their development in a bid to return to the Senate.

In 2015, Brown put out a press release celebrating the construction of a third data center in Central Ohio.

"This new data center is great news for New Albany and central Ohio. Amazon’s growth in central Ohio signals that this region is not only a great place to do business, but a place where people want to live and raise a family," Brown said.
