Campaign Address
Data Centers
“The standards of my moratorium have been clear: no new data centers until we protect our people. We must re-establish local control, ensure no utility rate increases for residents, protect our water, air and land, fight against noise pollution while prioritizing brownfields and preserving farmland. While Jocelyn Benson’s family profits off a secret data center deal that local residents didn’t want, I’ll put Michigan communities and ratepayers first.”
— John James
Flock Cameras
“After eight years of failed Democrat leadership, Michiganders are right to question their government. Unchecked AI surveillance is an issue and as Governor I will establish clear legal standards, transparency requirements and oversight so these tools are used to catch criminals — not monitor innocent civilians. Anyone using Flock cameras or AI surveillance to target and monitor law-abiding Michigan citizens will be held accountable. Michigan is not a surveillance state. Not on my watch.”
— John James
War in Iran
“Let me be clear, I hate war. I’m a combat veteran who’s been over at war. Iran cannot have a nuke and we need to use every resource at our disposal to bring this war to an end quickly.”
— John James
