Beskrivelse

Meagan Rico is running for Kansas House District 69 in the August 4th Democratic Primary. Kansas House District 69 is in Saline County. It includes the southern portion of Salina and runs from Brookville to Gypsum.At the doors, Rico says AI data centers are one of the biggest issues she is hearing about from voters. She connects data centers to privacy concerns, Flock cameras, AI, and the water demands that could affect Kansas communities.Rico says her first reaction is to oppose the data centers being proposed in her area because Kansas water is limited, drought is real, and leaders have not fully thought through the long-term consequences. She also talks about being pro-union while still questioning whether data centers create enough long-term jobs to justify the strain on resources.See the full interview on Kansas Helen Substack and learn more about the Kansas House District 69 Democratic primary here:https://kansashelen.substack.com/s/kansas-houseYou can now also watch on Kansas Helen YouTube or listen on the Kansas Helen Podcast on Apple and Spotify.Reminder: Vote NO on Amendment 1: Elections for Supreme Court Justices.For more information, visit: https://protectkansasrights.org/ #Kansas #2026elections #2026Primary #ksleg #Vote Get full access to Kansas Helen at kansashelen.substack.com/subscribe [https://kansashelen.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
