Data-centre opposition becomes major issue in Michigan primary elections
Michigan political candidates across both parties are campaigning against data-centre projects ahead of the August primary election, with 17 candidates buying ads opposing data centres in June–July 2026. Opposition centres on two major projects: the Oracle/OpenAI Stargate facility under construction on 250 acres in Saline Township (1.4 GW capacity) and the proposed Project Cannoli in Van Buren Township (1 GW capacity). A Detroit Regional Chamber poll found 55% of likely voters opposed allowing data centres within 25 miles of their homes. U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and others frame data-centre opposition as a bipartisan grassroots movement despite support from Gov. Whitmer and President Trump.
