Where Bailey stands

Position history

Pausing data center tax incentives

  1. Feb 2026 (News conference responding to the State of the State, listing proposals he disapproved of)
    We heard about new fees on social media companies, new regulations on insurers, new spending initiatives and even a pause on data center tax incentives at a time when other states are competing aggressively for investment.
  2. Aug 2026 (Interview; wants to pause all data center tax agreements)
    I think we need to have an immediate halt because ultimately, if we continue on this path that we're going on, energy prices are going to continue to skyrocket.

Darren Bailey is not a current member of Congress, so there is no congressional roll-call record to show.
