Tom Tiffany has launched a new ad dubbing his Dem gubernatorial rival “data center David Crowley,” claiming lakes will run dry and family farms will be paved over because the Milwaukee County exec won’t roll back tax breaks for the projects.
The campaign said the ad is going up on digital today and will be on broadcast TV this week.
The new Tiffany ad, the seventh of his campaign, features video of Crowley saying there’s an “opportunity for us to really become AI and a data hub not only for the entire country, but for the entire globe.”
The narrator in the spot says Crowley won’t roll back the incentives because his campaign is funded by the people building them.

“Data center David Crowley: big tech wins, Wisconsin pays,” the narrator says to close the spot.
The tax break referred to in the ad is a sales tax exemption for building materials, construction, server equipment and other costs for data centers that Republicans included in the 2023-25 budget that was signed by Dem Gov. Tony Evers.
