Javier Lorenzo AmezcuaIncumbent
Candidate for City Council (At-Large), Calipatria · Incumbent

Positions in brief
Amezcua opposes a blanket moratorium on data centers in Calipatria, arguing the city should first verify whether the concerns driving the proposed ban are accurate.
On the Calipatria City Council, Amezcua has pushed back against a colleague-led effort to ban data center development citywide. During council debate he argued the fears behind the moratorium were overstated, calling the push 'scare tactics' and questioning whether claims made by supporters of the ban were true. He was absent when the council later voted to advance the moratorium. Outside the council, his professional background is in local land and infrastructure planning: he works for the Imperial County Resource Management Agency and represents Calipatria on the Imperial County Transportation Commission.
On the issues
Opposes a citywide ban on data centers, saying the city should verify the claims driving the push for a ban before restricting the industry.
