Rep. Subramanyam Stands with Neighbors on Fighting Golden to Mars Routes

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) issued the following statement after he was unable to attend the school board’s special meeting on the Golden to Mars transmission line routes due to votes in DC:

“As an Ashburn resident, I absolutely stand with my community against utility companies and data center overreach. I can’t believe we are at this point, and I encourage every level of government to fight back against these incursions on our community. That’s why I support a local data center moratorium and will keep pushing legislation to make the data centers pay to underground their own power. 

We must also find an alternative route that won't hurt our residents and schools. At the federal level, I am going to do everything in my power to protect our community and consider alternatives like a potential Route 606 option.”
