将其政府的保守主义记录作为国会山的全国蓝图，罗恩·德桑蒂斯州长在周二晚上在奥塞罗县召集共和党人，描绘海军退伍军人丹·格林竞选佛罗里达第九国会选区的行动，作为将激进的佛罗里达式治理带到华盛顿的更广泛推动的一部分。
Pitching his administration’s conservative record as a national blueprint for Capitol Hill, Gov. Ron DeSantis rallied Republicans in Osceola County Tuesday night, portraying Navy veteran Dan Green’s bid for Florida’s 9th Congressional District as part of a broader push to bring aggressive Florida-style governance to Washington. Speaking before a crowd in St. Cloud, south of Orlando, DeSantis pointed to his administration's high-profile battles on education policy, state spending reductions and corporate pushback and urged voters to bring that same combative, policy-driven mandate to the halls of Congress. SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS AFTER DESANTIS GIVES ‘SOROS’ PROTESTER A PIECE OF HIS MIND: ‘AIN’T MY FIRST RODEO’ "I will say that I'm looking forward to y'all getting the congressman elected that has served this country and that has served for the right reasons.
在奥兰多以南的圣云雾城（St. Cloud）面向人群发言时，德桑蒂斯指出其政府在教育政策、州财政削减和企业反击方面的高调斗争，并敦促选民将同样的进取、以政策为导向的使命带到国会大厅。
Now, I am a big believer that we need term limits for members of Congress. But until we do that, you can show your current guy the term limit by kicking him out of office. "So, I think what we need is what we've done in Florida.
社交媒体沸腾：德桑蒂斯向“索罗斯”抗议者抛出一句话：“这不是我的第一次牛仔竞技”“我想说，我期待你们选举出一位为这个国家服务、并且出于正确理由服务的国会议员。现在，我非常相信我们需要对国会议员实行任期限制。但在我们实现之前，你们可以通过将现任议员踢出办公室来展示任期限制。”“所以，我认为我们需要的是我们在佛罗里“每次发生争执时，我们总能取胜。而这正是领导力的真正意义所在。因为当领导力变得容易实现、当人们都愿意追随领导者时，任何人都可以成为领导者；他们会说‘我就随大溜吧’之类的。但真正的考验在于困难时刻，尤其是在面临巨大压力时。”
It can be a model for people like Dan going to Washington, other states, you name it, because it's not just about peacocking and putting social media press releases out and never getting anything done. We have fought every big fight that there has been to fight in the state of Florida, and we have won every big fight that there is to fight in Florida." DeSantis rallied the conservative faithful with a recap, alleging major victories over left-wing institutions, agencies and agendas. "Just think about it. We beat Dr. Fauci on COVID. We beat Disney on gender ideology. We beat Soros on crime by removing two of his prosecutors. We beat Martha's Vineyard on illegal immigration. "We just beat the Muslim Brotherhood by banning Sharia law.
特朗普亲自挑选的德桑蒂斯在佛罗里达州共和党州长初选中获胜。德桑蒂斯多次强调，他的首要任务是坚守自己的信念和原则，而不是追求政治上的便利或为了迎合他人而妥协。
We beat the teachers unions by enacting universal school choice for all Florida families. We beat SEIU by doing paycheck protection. "Every single time there was a fight, we would beat and win the fights. And that's ultimately what it's all about. Because leadership — when it's popular, when it's easy — anyone can do that. 'I'll just go with the flow,' all this other stuff.
“我记得在新冠疫情期间，我采取了一些措施，人们质疑我：‘他为什么不关闭海滩？为什么还让孩子们去上学？’很多人指责我在浪费自己的州长职位，认为我在2022年的选举中无法获胜……但我不知道这些话是否属实。谁又能知道呢？”
It really matters when it is tough and when you're going to face arrows." TRUMP'S HANDPICKED DESANTIS SUCCESSOR WINS CROWDED GOP PRIMARY FOR FLORIDA GOVERNOR DeSantis repeatedly emphasized that his top priority was sticking to the courage of his convictions, not seeking political expediency or going along to get along. "I remember during COVID, I was doing things, and people said, 'Oh, he's not shutting down the beaches.
“但当你身处领导者的位置时，要么采取行动，要么就干脆放弃这个职位。我的职责不是关心自己的政治前途，而是保护那些委托我服务的人们的自由、工作和生计。因此，我们坚持了自己的立场，并为他们争取了应有的权利。”
Why does he have these people in school?' And all this other stuff. You know, people come after you, and a lot of people told me that I was frittering away my governorship, that I wouldn't be able to win in '22, and all this other stuff.
这位连任两届的州长显然将自己与迪士尼的激烈对抗视为自己职业生涯中的重要成就。
I don't know if that was true. Who knows, right? "But when you get in a position to lead, you either do it or you should just sit down.
“在该州的历史上，从来没有人敢于与迪士尼这样的巨头对抗。很多人告诉我这是个错误，”德桑蒂斯说道。
My job was not to be worried about my own political hide. My job was to be worried about protecting the liberty, jobs, and businesses of the people I was elected to serve. So, we started the fire, and we gave them his right."
“但现实是：我们究竟想要一个告诉6岁孩子‘他们可以改变性别’的社会，还是一个建立在真理基础上的社会呢？如果你希望生活在一个建立在真理基础上的社会里，即使这个国家最庞大、最有权势的公司都与你对立，你也必须站出来抗争。我们做到了，我们也胜利了。”随着联邦债务总额突破惊人的40万亿美元，德桑蒂斯强调自己已经带领佛罗里达州走上了截然不同的发展道路。
It is clear that the two-term governor considers his famed battle with Disney to be a particular feather in his cap. "Nobody in the history of the state had ever taken on Disney in anything. A lot of people told me I was making a mistake," DeSantis said. "But the reality is, do we want a society in which our 6-year-olds are being told they can change genders, or do we want a society rooted in truth? If you want a society rooted in truth, even if the biggest, most powerful corporation in the state is against you, you've got to stand up and you've got to fight. And we fought, and we won."
“看看结果吧：连续四年，佛罗里达州都在削减预算。全国还有其他哪个州也在这样做吗？我们做到了！”德桑蒂斯说道。
As the federal debt has topped a staggering $40 trillion, DeSantis made the case that he has taken the state on a markedly divergent course. "Just look at the results. For four straight years, Florida has reduced its budget.
“今天我刚刚宣布：从我上任至今，佛罗里达州的所有债务中，已经有54%得到了偿还——这相当于将债务削减了一半以上。”
Is any other state in the country reducing spending? We've done it four years in a row," DeSantis said. "I was just able to announce today if you take all of Florida's debt for all of our history up until the time I became governor, just in my tenure, we will retire 54% of the state's debt, more than cutting it in half.
“我们在教育自由方面排名全国第一，我们的公立大学系统也位居榜首。我们的州内学费是全美最低的，而且对学生和家庭来说，学费价格与我上任时完全一样，没有丝毫上涨。”
"We've been ranked No. 1 for education freedom, and our public university system is ranked No. 1. We have the lowest in-state tuition of any state in the United States, and it's the exact same cost today to students and families that it was the day I took office. "It did not go up one penny under my tenure. Is there anything else that didn't go up?
“在我任期内，学费一分钱都没有增加。还有其他东西的价格也没有上涨吗？现在麦当劳的‘一美元套餐’价格仍然是2.99美元……其他所有东西的价格都上涨了，但学费却保持不变。”德桑蒂斯将佛罗里达州誉为在为公民减税方面的全国领导者，并呼吁选民支持佛罗里达州的第3号修正案，该修正案将为取消非学校性质的财产税铺平道路。
The dollar menu at McDonald's is all $2.99 now. Everything else has gone up, but that has not gone up." And DeSantis touts Florida as a national leader in lowering taxes for its citizens and called for voters to back Amendment 3 in Florida, which would pave the way for elimination of non-school property taxes. "If you look at tax relief, we've done $10 billion over my tenure — more than anyone. Some of it is permanent, like no tax on baby items, back-to-school items and no tax on business rent. But, really, the big enchilada is going to be on the ballot in November when you have a chance on Amendment 3 to vote yourself more control over your own home and not let them tax you to death.
“在税收减免方面，我在任期内为佛罗里达州节省了100亿美元——这一成绩超过了任何其他人。其中一些减税措施是永久性的，比如婴儿用品、开学用品免征税收，企业租金也免征税收。但真正重要的变革将在11月的投票中实现——届时选民可以通过第3号修正案来为自己争取更多关于自己房产的决策权，避免被政府过度征税。所以，请务必投票支持第3号修正案吧。”
So vote yes on 3. As Republicans face headwinds heading into the midterms in a little over a month, DeSantis drew a parallel between this year's election, and the 2018 election, which propelled him to the governor's mansion by a narrow margin. "We've done all this stuff, but I think the lesson is this: When I won eight years ago, it was kind of similar to how it is now.
随着中期选举仅剩一个多月，共和党面临逆风，德桑蒂斯将今年的选举与2018年那场以微弱优势将他送入州长官邸的选举进行了类比。
People were saying it was a ‘blue year.’There was a lot of wind in the face of Republican candidates," DeSantis recalled. "A lot of people thought Florida was a swing state — that we were purple — where one point had decided all these races for the previous decade.
“我们做了所有这些事，但我认为教训是：八年前我获胜时，情况有点像现在。人们说那是‘蓝色之年’。共和党候选人面临强劲逆风，”德桑蒂斯回忆道。
A lot of people didn't think I could even win given those circumstances. And even if I won, they said, 'Well, the state's going to go blue. You've got all these people moving from Puerto Rico, the Northeast, anything.' So, I'm running.
“很多人认为佛罗里达是摇摆州——呈紫色状态——此前十年所有竞选都只由一两个百分点决定胜负。考虑到那些情况，很多人认为我根本赢不了。即使赢了，他们说，‘好吧，该州还是会变蓝。你有这么多从波多黎各、东北部搬来的人，诸如此类。’所以，我参选了。这并不容易，但我们赢了。”德桑蒂斯坚称，他从未通过民调来决定在某个问题上的立场。
It wasn't easy, and we won." DeSantis maintains he has never taken a poll as a means to determine a position on an issue. "It was a close race, so I had a choice to make: Do I try to tiptoe around the tulips, not offend anybody, and just try to walk this tight line? Or do I say, 'You know what? I won the election. I got 100% of the executive power, and I didn't get elected to follow.
“那是一场胶着的竞选，所以我面临一个选择：我是试图小心翼翼、不得罪任何人、只走这条钢丝？还是说，‘你知道吗？我赢了选举。我拥有100%的行政权力，我不是被选来跟随的。我是被选来领导的，’”德桑蒂斯说。
I got elected to lead,'" DeSantis said. "So, I am going to fly the banner of bold colors, not pale pastels. I'm going to do what I believe in.
“所以，我将高举鲜明旗帜，而非苍白浅淡的色调。我将做我信奉的事。我不会搞任何民调。迄今为止，在我担任州长的整个期间，我从未就任何单一问题进行过民调。
I am not going to take any polls. I have not to this day ever polled a single issue in my entire time as governor. "The reason is simple. … It depends on how you ask the question, right?
“原因很简单。……这取决于你如何提问，对吧？我可以调整措辞得到不同结果。但民调到底意味着什么？就像大力水手说的，‘我就是我，’对吧？”
I can tweak the words and get a different result. But also, what does a poll actually mean? Like Popeye said, ‘I am what I am,’ right?"
