Keep data-center infrastructure costs off household and small-business bills

Lloyd Smucker supports requiring companies responsible for new data-center energy demands to pay the related infrastructure costs, rather than shifting them to families and small businesses. He voted for the Ratepayer Protection Act, H.R. 9340, which was designed to prevent those customers from being required to cover the costs.

Context: The passage reports that the House approved the measure but does not say whether it became law. The election guide draws these positions from congressional-office material. It does not establish a returned campaign questionnaire or a newly made campaign promise. Original event dates remain unverified.

In their own words
