I am running because families should not lose clean water, affordable electricity, healthy food or medical choice so powerful companies and political donors can take the profits while the public carries the risk.
I believe government should measure results, publish the evidence, protect patients from proven misconduct, support farmers and caregivers, and give people practical tools to become healthier—not trap them in permanent crisis management.

Featured Public Advocate
Erin Brockovich: From Hinkley to the AI Water Fight
Her career shows why ordinary citizens need records, testing, persistence and access to the legal system when a powerful institution says there is nothing to see.
What the July 7, 2026 interview argues
Erin Brockovich and Rick Wilson warn that fast-moving AI data-center construction can shift water, electricity, noise and infrastructure costs onto nearby communities while decision-making happens faster than residents can organize.
The strongest evidence supports their demand for transparency: federal research projects major electricity growth from data centers, state lawmakers are pursuing water-use disclosure, and communities often lack comparable project-level information before approval.
The careful conclusion is not that every data center is harmful. It is that every large project should prove its water, energy, emergency and ratepayer case before receiving permits or subsidies.
Her Background and the Movie
The Real Hinkley Case—and the Hollywood Version
The movie introduced millions to environmental accountability, but the public record—not a screenplay—is the foundation for policy.
What happened
California water regulators report that PG&E used hexavalent chromium in cooling towers at its Hinkley compressor station from 1952 to 1966 and discharged wastewater into unlined ponds, contaminating groundwater. Cleanup and monitoring continued long after the lawsuit and film.
Erin Brockovich, released in 2000 and directed by Steven Soderbergh, dramatized the work of Brockovich, attorney Ed Masry and Hinkley residents. Julia Roberts portrayed Brockovich. The movie is a powerful introduction—not a substitute for agency records, laboratory results or court files.
Motta 2028 AI Infrastructure Standard
No Secret Water Deals. No Ratepayer Blank Checks.
AI can create enormous benefits, but the public should not subsidize private growth without enforceable public protections.
2. Full energy accounting
Publish peak megawatts, backup generation, grid upgrades, emissions, load-flexibility commitments and the effect on household and small-business rates.
3. Homes and farms first
No project may impair drinking water, firefighting capacity, hospitals, farms or long-term aquifer health. Drought triggers must be written before construction.
4. The company pays
Data-center owners fund dedicated substations, pipelines, road damage, emergency systems, grid upgrades, reclamation and decommissioning—not captive ratepayers.
5. Better cooling
Prefer closed-loop systems, reclaimed water, dry or hybrid cooling where appropriate, heat reuse and water-capacity-neutral designs verified by engineers.
6. Public consent
Advance notice, plain-language impact reports, public hearings, no nondisclosure agreements that hide public costs, and a meaningful appeal process.
7. Resilience bond
Require a performance bond or escrow for contamination, water-system upgrades, emergency response and site cleanup if a company leaves.
8. Annual scorecard
Actual water, energy, emissions, outages, jobs, taxes and complaints must be compared with promises. Repeated violations can suspend incentives or operations.
9. National AI Water Atlas
Create a public project-level database connecting water stress, grid capacity, farmland, disaster risk, utility rates and permitting status.
Evidence check: DOE’s Berkeley Lab report estimated data centers used about 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023 and could reach roughly 6.7%–12% by 2028. That is a planning warning, not proof that every local project has the same impact.
Explain It Two Ways
For a Fifth Grader—and for an Adult
Public policy should be understandable without losing technical accuracy.
Why do data centers use water?
Computers make heat. Some buildings use water to carry the heat away, like sweat helps cool your body.
Why do data centers use water?
Cooling towers may evaporate water to reject heat. Water can also be consumed indirectly at power plants. Design, climate, workload and cooling technology determine the actual footprint.
Why can bills rise?
If a giant new customer needs bigger pipes and power lines, somebody has to pay. The company should not hand the bill to families.
Why can bills rise?
New generation, transmission, substations and water capacity can be placed in the utility rate base. Special tariffs and cost-causation rules should prevent residential cross-subsidies.
Who Does What?
FEMA Is Not the Local Data-Center Permit Office
Accountability starts by assigning the correct job to the correct agency—then preventing officials from passing the buck.
| Government level or agency | Real responsibility | Motta reform |
|---|---|---|
| City, county and water utility | Zoning, land use, water and sewer capacity, building permits, emergency access and local utility agreements. | Mandatory public cost-and-capacity hearing before approval. |
| State water agencies and utility commissions | Water rights, resource planning, utility rates, large-load tariffs and state environmental review. | Farmer and household ratepayer advocate in every major proceeding. |
| EPA | Federal clean-air, clean-water, waste and environmental-law standards; many permits are administered by state or local agencies under federal rules. | National disclosure floor plus public enforcement dashboard. |
| DOE, FERC and grid operators | Energy research, bulk-power planning, interstate transmission and grid reliability. | Large-load reliability test and transparent cost allocation. |
| FEMA | Helps people before, during and after disasters and supports state, Tribal, territorial and local response when federal assistance is requested. | Require disaster-load scenarios for water, power, hospitals and evacuation—not routine zoning control. |
The lesson: FEMA matters for resilience and disaster response, but it normally does not decide whether a local AI data center gets water or zoning approval. Local and state decision-makers cannot use FEMA as an excuse for their own permitting failures.

Erin Brockovich and The Lincoln Project
They warn that concentrated corporate power and rushed approvals can leave towns with water, power and cost burdens.
Watch the InterviewAdam Carolla on Gavin Newsom
Carolla argues that California leadership avoids hard follow-up questions and fails to deliver basic results. His commentary is a viewpoint, not a substitute for audited records.
Watch Carolla’s CritiquePalisades water analysis
The state found Southern California supplies were robust, the Santa Ynez reservoir was offline for required repairs, and the municipal system’s flow rate was overwhelmed by extraordinary demand. A full reservoir may have helped temporarily but would not have solved the larger capacity problem.
Read the State ReportMotta conclusion
There were legitimate questions about an offline reservoir, preparation, pressure, emergency design and public communication. There were also false or oversimplified claims connecting unrelated northern California water policy to local hydrant pressure. My administration would publish a unified after-action report with timelines, engineering data, unresolved disputes and named corrective actions—regardless of which party controls the city, state or White House.
California’s 2028 Water Plan set an interim goal of identifying 9 million acre-feet of additional supply by 2040. That is a measurable target; voters should track whether projects, storage, conservation, reuse and watershed improvements actually deliver it.
California Water PlanWhy This Is Personal
Aunt June, Uncle Jake and the Caregiver’s View
Health policy is not an abstract spreadsheet when a family is managing food, appointments, diabetes, heart disease, bills and daily care.
My family story
My aunt June cared for my uncle Jake with the attention and persistence of a nurse, and I spent years helping care for family members. Uncle Jake worked at U.S. Steel, was a licensed plumber and lived through major health challenges, including a quadruple bypass and diabetes.
Our family’s experience was that structured, portion-controlled Seattle Sutton meals helped Uncle Jake improve his blood-sugar control and reduce his need for insulin under medical care. That is personal testimony—not proof that one meal program cures diabetes or replaces a clinician.
It taught me that caregivers need practical food, time, training, respite, transportation and a health system that treats nutrition as part of care.
Caregiver and food-as-medicine policy
- Medically tailored meal pilots for qualifying Medicare, Medicaid, VA and high-risk patients.
- Caregiver tax relief, respite, training and simple benefit navigation.
- Registered-dietitian access and nutrition counseling without months of delay.
- Outcome tracking: A1C, blood pressure, medication burden, hospitalizations and quality of life.
- Medication reduction only when clinically appropriate and supervised by a licensed professional.
Farmers First
Food Security Is National Security
America should not pave over productive land, drain farm aquifers or force growers to compete with subsidized server farms without a transparent public-interest test.
Water priority
Drinking water, food production, hospitals and emergency response receive priority during drought and infrastructure emergencies.
Farm-to-public-institution purchasing
Expand competitive local procurement for schools, VA facilities, military bases and hospitals while preserving nutrition and food-safety standards.
Regional processing
Support slaughter, storage, refrigeration and processing capacity so farmers are not trapped by a handful of dominant buyers.
Honest contracts
Disclose data-center subsidies, water rates and land deals before approval. Farmers and neighbors should know whether a corporation receives a special bargain.
Soil and watershed resilience
Reward measurable soil health, erosion reduction, recharge, drainage and nutrient stewardship without one-size-fits-all mandates.
Independent family farms
Use antitrust enforcement, transparent markets and fair access to credit—not donor-driven carveouts—to keep producers independent.
MAHA Better
Keep What Works. Correct What Failed.
Neither party gets a blank check. Health policy should survive citation review, budget review and real-world outcome measurement.
Trump-era progress worth building on
- MAHA elevated nutrition, chronic disease, food ingredients and prevention in national debate.
- HHS announced commitments from dozens of medical schools to provide at least 40 hours of nutrition education or a competency equivalent beginning in fall 2026.
- Root-cause questions deserve serious research rather than ridicule.
Failures that must be corrected
- The first MAHA report contained nonexistent or mischaracterized citations and required correction.
- Political messaging cannot replace transparent authorship, reproducible evidence and independent review.
- Health reform fails when agencies promise transparency but do not publish methods, conflicts and measurable deadlines.
Biden-Harris progress worth preserving
- Medicare negotiated lower prices for the first ten selected drugs, with prices effective in 2026.
- CMS estimated about $1.5 billion in beneficiary out-of-pocket savings in 2026 under the first negotiation cycle.
- Drug affordability is part of health freedom.
Failures that must be corrected
- Affordability policy did not reverse America’s chronic-disease burden or long-standing nutrition-training gaps.
- A system that pays mainly after people become sick is not a complete prevention strategy.
- Public health messaging lost trust when uncertainty, dissent and changing evidence were not explained honestly.
The scale of the problem: CDC research estimated that 76.4% of U.S. adults reported at least one chronic condition in 2023, and 51.4% reported multiple chronic conditions. The answer cannot be only more prescriptions—or only anti-medication slogans. It must be prevention, early detection, effective treatment and accountable evidence.
Nutrition Education Poll Question
How Much Nutrition Did Your Doctor Learn?
Many physicians are excellent clinicians, but the curriculum gap is real. The solution is better training and teamwork—not attacking every doctor.
What the research shows
A 2018 survey cited in a 2024 review found only 29% of U.S. medical schools met the recommended minimum of 25 hours of nutrition education, and only 14% of residency programs required nutrition curriculum. New federal commitments may improve that beginning in 2026, but voters should demand public reporting on what is actually taught.
Motta standard
- Required evidence-based nutrition and metabolic-health competencies.
- Training in food insecurity, agriculture, eating disorders and culturally appropriate care.
- Referral pathways to registered dietitians and diabetes educators.
- Continuing education for practicing clinicians.
- No single diet imposed by Washington; informed, individualized care.
Question for voters
Does your doctor have formal education in nutrition from medical school or residency—and do you know how many hours?
Doctors should be able to answer honestly. Patients should also understand that nutrition is one part of care, not a replacement for emergency medicine, surgery, antibiotics, insulin or other appropriate treatment.
Answer in the Campaign PollNo Immunity for Proven Misconduct
Drug and Vaccine Accountability Without Medical Recklessness
“Big Pharma has paid major criminal and civil settlements” is a documented fact. “Every medicine is bad” is not.
Documented corporate cases
In 2009, Pfizer and a subsidiary agreed to pay $2.3 billion to resolve criminal and civil liability involving illegal promotion of certain products. In 2012, GSK agreed to plead guilty and pay $3 billion over unlawful promotion, failure to report certain safety data and other allegations.
Plain-language side effects
Require a one-page patient summary plus full machine-readable FDA labeling, absolute-risk figures when available, trial limitations, interactions and post-market safety updates.
Whistleblowers and raw data
Protect employees who report falsified safety records. Preserve clinical-trial data and require public correction when findings materially change.
Vaccine injury system reform
The VICP is a no-fault alternative created partly to compensate qualifying injuries while stabilizing vaccine supply. Reform it for speed, transparency, adequate awards and meaningful appeals.
No shield for proven fraud
Liability protections should not protect intentional fraud, evidence concealment, counterfeit data, gross manufacturing violations or knowing failure to report legally required safety information.
Do not abandon evidence
Vaccines and medicines must be evaluated product by product. Serious vaccine reactions are possible but rare; benefits, risks and alternatives should be communicated honestly.

Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci
A congressional dispute about research funding and oversight. Questions and accusations are not criminal findings; records, definitions and sworn evidence must control.
Mike Benz: intelligence and health narratives
Benz connects censorship, intelligence methods and COVID-origin narratives. His analysis is an investigative viewpoint; scientific and legal claims still require independent evidence.
Public Health Power and Pay
Why Was Dr. Fauci Paid So Much?
Salary transparency is legitimate. Salary alone is not evidence of a crime.
Known public record
A congressional bill’s findings stated that Anthony Fauci earned $434,312 in 2020. He led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 through 2022 and oversaw a large biomedical-research portfolio. Federal physician and scientist compensation can exceed ordinary executive pay caps under special authorities intended to recruit and retain specialists.
The public may reasonably ask about salary, bonuses, royalties, grant authority, recusals and outside financial interests. Those questions should be answered with official disclosures—not insinuation.
Motta health-official transparency law
- Publish salary, bonuses, pension formulas and special-pay authority.
- Publish agency royalty income, recusals and outside financial interests.
- Public database of grants, subgrants, conflicts and research-risk reviews.
- Recorded dissent and uncertainty in major public-health recommendations.
- Independent inspector-general audits with enforceable document-retention rules.
- No retaliation against lawful whistleblowers or scientists presenting good-faith dissent.
