***MEDIA ADVISORY***

TOMORROW – SATURDAY: NIDA ALLAM & WAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS HOLDING PRESS CONFERENCE TO OPPOSE

AI SUPER PAC SPENDING IN NC-04 PRIMARY

DURHAM, NC Nida Allam, Durham County Commissioner and candidate for Congress in NC-04, will host a press conference alongside Wake County residents and advocates to oppose the just-announced AI Super PAC spending backing incumbent Representative Valerie Foushee in the primary election and speak out against AI data center construction plans in Apex. Tomorrow, AI corporation Anthropic’s AI Super PAC named American Jobs and Democracy PAC, will begin spending at least $100,000 in support of incumbent Rep. Valerie Foushee. Anthropic also previously received at least $500 million in investments from Crypto executive Sam Bankman-Fried, who spent $1 million in support of Valerie Foushee in 2022, before being sent to prison for fraud.

Apex residents have long opposed the construction of the new proposed AI Data Center in Apex and recently, over 250 residents wrote an open letter to NC-04 candidates of both parties asking them to oppose its construction. Nida Allam is the only candidate running in this primary who has opposed it, and has voiced support for Bernie Sanders’ AI Data Center moratorium. Just this month, Chatham County passed a 12-month moratorium on AI data center construction.
