共和党国会候选人斯科特·辛格主张，在备受关注的南佛罗里达对决中，政党归属而非仅是政策将成为决定性因素。他的对手是民主党籍联邦众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨。辛格认为，这位现任议员温和、亲以色列的公众形象与其投票记录及民主党的发展方向背道而驰。
Republican congressional candidate Scott Singer is making the case that party, not just policy, will be decisive in his closely watched South Florida showdown with Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz, arguing that the incumbent’s moderate, pro-Israel image is at odds with his voting record and the direction of the Democrat Party. Singer, the former mayor of Boca Raton, told Fox News Digital that he believes his record of cutting taxes and reducing crime at the local level, combined with unwavering support for Israel, gives voters a clear contrast in Florida’s newly redrawn 25th Congressional District.
辛格是博卡拉顿前市长，他对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，他认为自己在地方层面减税、降低犯罪率的政绩，加上对以色列坚定不移的支持，为佛罗里达州新划分的第25国会选区的选民提供了鲜明的对比。
"Well, it is a tough cycle, but people understand the real Jared Moskowitz, one who votes with the squad 90% of the time, voted to put [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-Minn.] on the Foreign Affairs Committee, has passed no bills in Congress, but traded $4.5 million worth of stocks since he's been there. This district, after redistricting, is now a Republican plus five district," Singer told Fox News Digital.
辛格对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“好吧，这是一个艰难的周期，但人们了解真实的贾里德·莫斯科维茨，一个90%的时间与‘小分队’（指国会内进步派议员小组）一起投票的人，曾投票让伊尔汗·奥马尔众议员（明尼苏达州民主党籍）进入外交事务委员会，在国会一个法案都没通过，但自上任以来却进行了价值450万美元的股票交易。重新划分选区后，该选区现在是共和党优势5个百分点的选区。”
GOP'S SINGER 'VERY PREPARED' TO OUST DEM MOSKOWITZ IN TOSS-UP FLORIDA RACE THAT COULD DETERMINE HOUSE MAJORITY "It takes in all of Boca Raton, where I was mayor for eight years, cut taxes, red tape, and crime, and goes down to Miami Beach, where I was born, and Fort Lauderdale, where I was raised," he continued. "Moskowitz doesn't live in the district, he's not from the district. "But beyond that, the Republican plus five, a trend in Jewish voters, of which we have 25% … in our district, moving more conservatively, and people who are opposed to socialism and communism, which he will not denounce, understand that this is a critical race for House leadership, and they want someone like me, a local leader with a record of results."
共和党人辛格“准备充分”要在势均力敌的佛罗里达竞选中击败民主党人莫斯科维茨，该竞选可能决定众议院多数党归属。“它包含整个博卡拉顿，我在那里担任市长八年，减税、削减繁文缛节和犯罪率，向南延伸至迈阿密海滩，我的出生地，以及劳德代尔堡，我的成长地，”他继续说道。“莫斯科维茨不住在该选区，他不是该选区的人。
Singer's business-friendly fiscal conservatism is the cornerstone of his campaign, and provides the policy framework for his priorities on Capitol Hill. "Well, it gives me the record of results one would need. As mayor of Boca Raton, not only did we have the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city in Florida, I cut the tax rate seven times. I cut red tape, 21 streamlining initiatives," he said. "I cut crime by more than 25% from what were 40-year lows.
“但除此之外，共和党优势5个百分点，加上犹太裔选民向保守派倾斜的趋势——我们选区有25%的犹太裔选民——以及反对社会主义和共产主义的人群，而他拒绝谴责这些意识形态，他们都明白这是一场关乎众议院领导权的关键竞选，他们想要像我这样有实绩的地方领袖。”辛格亲商的财政保守主义是其竞选的基石，并为其在国会山的优先事项提供了政策框架。
Those are a record of results that people can relate to, because we improved the quality of life, improved the job base, lowered taxes, and made our streets safer." UNEARTHED AUDIT EXPOSES VULNERABLE DEM'S HANDLING OF COVID RELIEF FUNDS: 'GROSS OVERSIGHT' Singer continued: "That's what we want right now in America. We want secure borders, not like the porous borders that Jared Moskowitz supported under [former] President [Joe] Biden that have increased crime and ravaged communities.
“这些数据确实反映了我们的工作成果。作为博卡拉顿的市长，我们不仅拥有佛罗里达州所有提供全方位服务的城市中最低的房产税率，我还多次下调了税率；同时，我们也大幅简化了行政流程（共实施了21项改革措施）。此外，我们的犯罪率下降了25%以上（此前该市的犯罪率已经处于40年来的最低水平）。这些实实在在的成果让民众能够感受到我们的努力——因为我们改善了生活质量、增强了就业机会、降低了税收负担，并让街道变得更加安全。”他说。
They want tax relief, not the tax hike that he voted for. $4 trillion, including taxes on Social Security, tipped workers, small businesses and families that are hurting. Now he's trying to come around with a modest talk of the gas tax reduction. "He had the chance to vote on taxes and repeatedly has voted for higher taxes.
揭露民主党在新冠疫情救助资金管理上的严重漏洞辛格继续说道：“这正是美国现在所需要的：我们需要安全的边境政策，而不是像贾里德·莫斯科维茨在前总统乔·拜登执政期间所支持的那种‘漏洞百出的边境政策’——那种政策不仅加剧了犯罪问题，还给社区带来了严重破坏。民众希望得到税收减免，而不是他曾经投票支持的增税措施。总共4万亿美元的救助资金中，包括了针对社会保障体系、临时工、小企业以及受困家庭的税收负担。现在，他试图以‘小幅降低汽油税’为借口来改变自己的形象……”“他本有机会对税收政策进行投票，但却多次选择支持提高税收。民众需要的是一位有实际工作成果的领导者——而这正是我所具备的。”
People want a leader with a record of results. That's what I bring." While Moskowitz has carefully cultivated a moderate image during his tenure in Congress, Singer disputes that characterization.
尽管莫斯科维茨在国会任职期间一直努力塑造自己温和的形象，但辛格对此表示强烈质疑。
"No, he's not. He's been voting in lockstep. He's already said he'll vote for whoever the Democratic leadership is.
“不，他不是。他一直投着整齐划一的票。他已经表示将投票支持民主党领导层提名的任何人。如果民主党赢得国会控制权，你会看到像拉希达·特莱布（密歇根州民主党众议员）和AOC（亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯，纽约州民主党众议员）这样的人担任委员会主席，”辛格说。“尽管他谈论伊尔汗·奥马尔的言论很糟糕，但他还是投票让她留任外交事务委员会成员，掌管我国的外交事务。”
And you can see that we'll have committee chairs like [Rep.] Rashida Tlaib [D-Mich.] and AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.], if heaven forbid, the Democrats win Congress," Singer said. "He already voted for Ilhan Omar on Foreign Affairs, despite his talking about her statements being bad, he voted to keep her in charge of foreign affairs in our country." FLORIDA GOP NOMINEE BLASTS 20-YEAR DEM INCUMBENT AS A ‘SOCIALIST’ RUBBER-STAMP WITH ‘PRECIOUS LITTLE TO SHOW’Added Singer: "He's voted for tax hikes again … He says he's strong on Israel, but he voted against US-Israeli cooperation, when other Democrats were willing to cross the aisle.
佛罗里达州共和党提名人抨击连任20年的民主党现任议员为“社会主义”橡皮图章，“几乎没有建树”辛格补充道：“他再次投票支持增税……他说自己在以色列问题上立场强硬，但当其他民主党人愿意跨党派合作时，他却投票反对美以合作。就在几周前，他拒绝谴责社会主义，而其他民主党人却愿意这么做。他想两头讨好，但他的投票记录实实在在地是民主党的、自由派的，90%与‘小分队’保持一致。”
And then just a few weeks ago, he would not denounce socialism, even though other Democrats would. He's trying to have it out both ways, but his record is really Democratic, really liberal, 90% with the squad." Both Moskowitz and Singer both position themselves as strong supporters of Israel, but Singer argues that membership in today's Democrat Party makes effective advocacy for Israel difficult.
莫斯科维茨和辛格都自诩为以色列的坚定支持者，但辛格认为，在当今的民主党中，要有效地为以色列发声是很困难的。
"I'm a stronger supporter for Israel. I would never have put Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee. I would not have, like he did, voted against U.S.-Israel cooperation in the NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act]," Singer said.
“我是以色列更坚定的支持者。我绝不会让伊尔汗·奥马尔进入外交事务委员会。我不会像他那样，在《国防授权法案》（NDAA）中投票反对美以合作，”辛格说。“几个月前，当美国和以色列共同对抗一个共同敌人时，我不会投票通过《战争权力法案》来削弱唐纳德·特朗普总统和我们军队的努力。
"I would have not voted to undercut President [Donald] Trump's efforts and our military's efforts with the War Powers Act vote months ago when the U.S. and Israel were fighting against a common enemy. "He's done all of those things because Democratic leadership requires him. And he admitted three weeks ago to Jewish Insider that he's being ostracized in his own party.
“他做所有这些事都是因为民主党领导层要求他这么做。三周前，他向《犹太内幕》承认，他在自己的党内被孤立了。他没有更多的筹码可用，必须随大流，而那个扩大后的‘小分队’将扼杀他任何发声的机会。”
He doesn't have any more chits to give in. He has to go with the way the majority is going, and that expanded squad is going to tamp out any voice he has. "In my party, support for Israel is a feature, not a bug, and I don't have to moderate my views or vote in accordance with the majority…I can be a strong supporter for Israel without reservation.
“在我的政党里，支持以色列是一项优点，而不是一个缺陷。我不必调和自己的观点，也不必按照多数人的意见投票……我可以毫无保留地成为以色列的坚定支持者。贾里德已经承认，他做不到，也不会这样做。”最后，辛格虽然表示自己是特朗普政府在伊朗军事行动的坚定支持者，但他希望冲突能尽快结束。
Jared's admitted he can't be and won't be." Finally, while Singer said he is a strong supporter of the Trump administration's military engagement in Iran, he would like to see an end to the conflict soon. "I think we need to have a resolution of this. I think we need to emerge victoriously. We have to remember that nuclear Iran is an existential threat," he said.
“我认为，我们必须解决这件事。我认为，我们需要以胜利者的姿态结束这场冲突。我们必须记住，拥有核武器的伊朗构成生存威胁，”他说。“我们已经看到，这个政权47年来有多么卑劣、凶残和嗜杀。它的外交政策就是要置美国于死地。他们已经杀害了美国人，还会杀更多的人。
"We have seen how dastardly, vicious, murderous this regime has been over 47 years. Their foreign policy is death to America. They've killed Americans, they'll kill more. "And even since this conflict started, they've started attacking other nations who weren't combatants trying to widen the conflict. They support terror across the world.
“甚至自这场冲突开始以来，他们就开始袭击并非参战方的其他国家，试图扩大冲突。他们在全世界支持恐怖主义。这伤害了美国，伤害了美国人民，伤害了以色列等盟友，也正在伤害自由世界。我们必须制止这一点。
It's hurt America, it's hurt Americans, it's hurt our allies like Israel, and it's hurting the free world. We need to stop this. "And I am optimistic we'll see a resolution soon.
“我乐观地认为，我们会很快看到解决方案。而这只是一个小小的代价。即使过程中会有些波折，确保伊朗不拥有核武器所付出的代价也要小得多。”
And that's a small price to pay. Even if we have some hiccups there, it's a smaller price to pay to ensure Iran does not have a nuclear weapon."
