Fight to protect access to clean air and water and hold polluters accountable.
Occurrences
He is also working to return federal investments, made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment Act, that support renewable energy, sustainability, and environmental restoration in Southwest Ohio.
Evidence
The rising demands of AI data centers are contributing to higher electricity costs for working families, posing environmental risks, and raising concerns about transparency as public officials sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) around project details and negotiations. Congressman Landsman introduced the No Harm Data Centers Act — legislation to ensure data centers pay the full cost of their energy demands and infrastructure needs, studies the environmental impacts of data centers, and prohibits NDAs with elected officials.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded SORTA $11,498,030 to purchase or lease low- or no-emission buses, build or upgrade facilities and equipment, and invest in workforce training — with specific requirements for zero-emission vehicle projects. In July 2025, Congressman Landsman wrote to DOT Secretary Sean Duffy and Federal Transit Administration Acting Administrator Tariq Bokhari in support of SORTA’s application for the funding.
Representative Greg Landsman serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, including the Subcommittee on Environment.
Assessments
The promise is broad: protect clean air and water and hold polluters accountable. The evidence shows Landsman took relevant action in office, especially by introducing the No Harm Data Centers Act aimed at making large energy users bear environmental and infrastructure costs and studying environmental impacts. That is a meaningful accountability effort tied to environmental protection, and his support for low- or no-emission bus funding also aligns with cleaner air goals. However, the record provided does not show a completed policy outcome such as enacted legislation, a finalized regulatory change, or a specific clean air or water protection measure successfully implemented because of his action. Since he made a serious legislative effort but there is no clear delivered result in the evidence, this is best scored as partial rather than full delivery.
