Here's what Amanda Bell (District 6) has to say! KEYWORDS: Environment, transparency, consent @amandabellcongress.bsky.social (7/9)
Amanda Bell, District 6

"I support strong oversight of data center development and the AI industry, which up to now has had a blank check to do whatever it wants. These facilities use huge amounts of water and power, often without honest answers about where that water comes from or goes. As a scientist who spent 24 years researching rivers and lakes, I have a unique perspective on how industrial discharge and water use can cause serious environmental harm. I’ve worked with community groups in Wisconsin and Minnesota reviewing water use and cooling system disclosures, and found discrepancies in water use figures and unauthorized groundwater withdrawals before facilities are even operational.

AI’s impact on our economy, jobs, and privacy raises concern. Elon Musk is suing Minnesota because his AI platform has been used to turn photos into sexually explicit images, including of children, which a new state law would ban. Musicians, writers, journalists, and artists are having their work stolen to create AI generated art, music, and films without credit. We haven’t had federal electronic privacy regulation since the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act, which made it illegal to share what movies people rented. We need to update federal privacy law for this millennium."

KEYWORDS: Environment, transparency, consent

Congress tried to fuse our military with the Israeli military. Representatives from both sides are saying no. The Senate blocked the National Defense Authorization Act for the first time in 66 years. The fight is not over. #amandabellforcongress #Israel #military #Ndaa #defense #politics

Let me know when you’re ready Netflix. I was a federal employee who saw what DOGE did from the inside and I couldn’t standby and watch it happen. I left my career of 24 years and decided to run for Congress. #Congress #doge #Netflix #amandabellforcongress #RingTheBell #WI06 #environment #science

Did you know every time someone donates blood they can save up to 3 lives? That's why donating blood is important in my life, knowing that I can help others. Check out redcross.org for a blood drive near you.

Two stops in WI-06 yesterday. Kiel residents talked farming, healthcare, and AI data centers. Real people with real concerns. Sheboygan North’s Expo showed students building community through service. That’s worth fighting for.

The Trump administration is closing all 9 Forest Service regional offices and moving HQ to Utah. I spent 24 years working alongside these people. I know exactly what we’re losing. Glenn Grothman isn’t fighting this. I will. #AmandaBellForCongress #WI06​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #environment #forest

Trump called it "mail-in cheating" then mailed his own Florida ballot. His reason: "Because I'm president." Nurses on 12-hour shifts don't get that exception. Neither do truck drivers or farmers an hour from the polls. This isn't security. It's suppression. #AmandaBellForCongress #WI06

In the middle of the storm, search for the happiness. Wisconsin has a big snowstorm and Autumn had her babies. When you are feeling down and like your are in a storm, look for the moment of calm and happiness and stay there for a little while. #AmandaBellForCongress #WI06 #farmtok #goat #Farm

Venus welcomed a sweet little female named Athena, our first goat kid of the year. I understand the struggles rural families face because I’m living it. We don’t have millions of dollars, but we have a lot of heart and an incredible work ethic. #amandabellforcongress #wi06 #farm #goat #rural

“America First” sounds simple, but history and context matter. Political language is never neutral. Where does the phrase came from, how has it been used, and why do many people see it as a dog whistle today? Leadership should be about responsibility, accountability, and governing for EVERYONE!
