Hollowell said voters are talking about gas prices and the cost of living as the election approaches. In an interview, she opposed Project Camellia, a proposed Effingham County data center, and called for a broader moratorium on data center development, arguing that economic benefits are unproven and that environmental and community impacts need to be understood.
Hollowell said she does not take corporate money and has received support from more than 400 local donors. She accused Kingston of accepting corporate money and contrasted her experience with his, while also acknowledging that he is a small-business owner. Kingston is her Republican opponent for Georgia’s 1st Congressional District.
