The story so far
Texas voters were turning against data centers in the weeks before the midterm elections. A survey published on 2026-10-28 found that opposition to the large computing facilities, which power cloud services and generative AI, was shaping the state's races. Texas is growing data centers faster than anywhere else.
On 2026-11-04, Texas elected Democrats to both the governor's office and the US Senate in the same election. It was the first time in decades the party had won both, ending long droughts. Democrat Gina Hinojosa unexpectedly beat Gov. Greg Abbott, a strong ally of tech leaders and Wall Street. The results carry weight for business because Texas has become a magnet for corporate relocations. They also raised doubts about plans by Elon Musk to build data centers in Texas. Musk spent about $446 million on the races, and his preferred candidates lost nearly everywhere.
