Build American AI launches data-center ad campaign in Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin

  • Build American AI plans data-center advertising in Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin.
  • The group says its ad budget will total millions of dollars.
  • Leading the Future launched with more than $50 million in funding.

Build American AI, a 501(c)(4) advocacy group affiliated with Leading the Future, plans to spend millions of dollars on ads supporting data centers in Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin. The campaign will target voters as electricity, water, permitting and utility-cost concerns make data centers a prominent issue in statewide elections. Leading the Future, a pro-AI super PAC backed by venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz and OpenAI President Greg Brockman, launched with more than $50 million and has primarily donated to candidates who support artificial intelligence while opposing some critics of the technology. OpenAI has publicly distanced itself from the group and criticized tactics that obscure the identities and policy positions behind political campaigns. Existing estimates put AI-related political spending above $150 million for the 2025-2026 cycle, while Andreessen Horowitz has disclosed more than $115 million in federal contributions and also backs pro-crypto efforts through Fairshake.
