Hawley Doubles Down on Data Center Concerns in Response to State Legislator
Friday, October 17, 2025
WASHINGTON - Today, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) responded to Cindy O'Laughlin, President Pro Tempore of the Missouri State Senate, after she wrote aletter to Senator Hawley calling his concerns for Missourians' rising utility costs "misleading."
He shot back at O'Laughlin, saying she "told me to stop asking questions about data centers and higher electricity rates. Not a chance."
This comes after Senator Hawley sent a letter to Ameren Corporation President and CEO Martin Lyons calling out Ameren for reportedly pursuing expensive corporate projects while thousands of Missourians experience rate hikes and power shut-offs. Hawley requested communications regarding Ameren's rate increases, power disconnections, data-center expansion, as well as cost allocation and prioritization.
