Nancy Lacore Backs Data Center Moratorium in South Carolina's 1st District Race

Nancy Lacore centered her South Carolina 1st District platform on a moratorium for data centers, saying Congress should impose guardrails that shift costs to corporations and protect local resources.
The Democratic nominee tied that stance to a broader anti-special-interest message, accusing her opponent of siding with developers and arguing residents need more say over growth decisions.
Lacore, a retired three-star Navy admiral who says she oversaw 60,000 sailors, cast herself as a nonpartisan problem-solver focused on high living costs and housing affordability.
Her platform also calls for banning members of Congress and senior executive officials from trading individual stocks, while highlighting her endorsement from Mount Pleasant's Republican mayor Will Haynie.
The pitch aims to frame the Lowcountry race around growth, affordability and ethics, as Lacore argues the district needs an independent voice rather than a party-line representative.
