State Races Could Shape Chemical and Data Center Regulation
What happened
Keisha Lance Bottoms and Cindy Holscher are candidates in state races. The 2026 US midterm elections could influence how chemicals are regulated and how state policy on data centers and pesticides is implemented. Different state approaches to data center siting and environmental safeguards could create a patchwork for companies supplying data center chemicals and technologies.

Why it matters
The outcome of state races could result in an increasingly fragmented policy landscape for the chemical enterprise. This fragmentation involves regulatory requirements and market conditions varying substantially from state to state. Data centers have become a prominent issue in the elections as artificial intelligence drives rapid development and voters raise concerns about electricity and water use.
