Patti Vasquez is joined by Maria Elena Bisabarros, Democratic candidate for Wisconsin State Assembly District 33, who focused in the interview on local impacts of data center incentives, infrastructure, and strained community budgets.

- Bisabarros argued that Wisconsin’s estimated $1.5 billion construction-related sales tax cost and ongoing tax breaks for data centers divert resources from schools, emergency services, infrastructure, and local governments.
- She supports a state moratorium on new data centers until stronger regulations are established.
- She also opposes proposed 765-kilowatt transmission lines, citing concerns from farmers and property owners.
- Bisabarros emphasized her experience as a teacher, small-business owner, farmer partner, and longtime East Troy community participant.
- She presented herself as a moderate voice focused on bringing state funds back to local communities without additional taxes.
