“America is in a race for the future. Artificial intelligence will define economic strength, national security, and daily life for the next century.”

— Rep. Bob Onder (R–MO-03)

RealClearEnergy op-ed, Oct. 7, 2025.

“Big talk seems to always come back to data centers, which is a piece of the economic puzzle that we would love to have in our portfolio here in the state, but it really is much more than that — it's a statement of what Missouri is about and if we're open to do business or not.”

— Gov. Mike Kehoe (R–MO)

Signing SB 4 (energy/industry). 

“Kansas City is a hub for innovation and technical talent, making it the ideal place to lead our nation in the future of AI. I was honored to meet with KC Tech Council and local business leaders to discuss how we can ensure Missouri continues to lead in the AI race against China. This is an exciting time for Missourians, and I look forward to continuing to work with local leaders on keeping Kansas City at the forefront of AI Innovation.”

-U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO)

“For years, jobs and investment have bypassed rural Missouri. In their investment decisions, companies often cite the lack of infrastructure as a critical reason for choosing more urban locations instead of our outstate communities. Thanks to President Trump, American businesses are looking at rural America in a whole new light... Investing in data centers would retain America’s competitive defense edge over China and ensure America – not China – is the dominant place to create jobs in the 21st century... I’ve seen other communities around America where these centers have been transformative for the community, and I want Missouri to lead the way in attracting jobs and investment.”

-Rep. Jason Smith, (R-MO-08)

“Data centers are where the future of defense and national security will be tested, trained, and deployed. St. Louis is uniquely poised to lead that charge.”

— Former Rep. Dick Gephardt (D–MO-03)

“The energy demand for manufacturing is already high, and that demand will only rise with the introduction of more data centers and artificial intelligence.”

— Rep. Eric Burlison (R–MO-07)

“We recognize that data centers play a role in — an important role — in the technology infrastructure that forward-thinking, forward-moving cities need to have as part of an ecosystem that can attract other types of technology companies and technology innovation to their communities.”

— St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer

“If Missouri is not out there bringing in these huge tech companies and investment, another state will, and Missouri could find itself five to 10 years from now having no tech investment because we said no to it,”

— Oliver Roberts, Co-Director, WashU Law’s AI Collaborative
