参议员伯尼·桑德斯将于10月10日开始在缅因州为特罗伊·杰克逊奔走竞选，这是这位进步派领袖本周期首次为该候选人拉票。
Sen. Bernie Sanders will hit the road for Troy Jackson in Maine starting Oct. 10, the first time the progressive leader will stump for the candidate this cycle.
根据首先与《政治报》分享的行程，这位佛蒙特州独立人士计划与杰克逊举行三场集会：首先于10月10日在班戈，随后于10月11日在刘易斯顿和比德福德。
The Vermont independent plans to hold three rallies with Jackson, according to an itinerary shared first with POLITICO: first in Bangor on Oct. 10th followed by Lewiston and Biddeford on Oct. 11.
《政治报》报道，缅因州之行将拉开桑德斯为中期选举最后冲刺奔走的序幕，他将在整个10月为众议院和参议院候选人跑遍各地。
The Maine swing will kick off Sanders’ travel for the final stretch of the midterms, covering ground throughout October for House and Senate candidates, POLITICO reported.
“伯尼和特罗伊知道是劳动人民建设了这个国家，他们理应拥有一个为他们而战的政府，”杰克逊的发言人丹·戈特利布告诉《政治报“苏珊·柯林斯已有近30年时间兑现承诺，但缅因州的劳动者仍在受挤压，而她却服务于资助她竞选的亿万富翁和企业利益集团。缅因州人不需要再有六年的借口。”
“Bernie and Troy know that working people built this country and deserve a government that fights for them,” Jackson spokesperson Dan Gottlieb told POLITICO.
在初选季进步派取得重大胜利前，桑德斯曾进行竞选造势，自去年的“反寡头”之旅以来，他已在60多场集会上发表演讲，并背书了90多位各级候选人。
“Susan Collins has had nearly 30 years to deliver, and working Mainers are still getting squeezed while she serves the billionaires and corporate interests who bankroll her campaigns. Mainers don’t need another six years of excuses.”
《政治报》报道，他还动用了其可观的2300万美元竞选资金库，向明尼苏达州副州长佩吉·弗拉纳根的参议院竞选活动及其他候选人捐赠了数十万美元，包括佛罗里达州的安吉·尼克松和明尼苏达州检察长基思·埃里森。
Sanders campaigned ahead of major wins for progressives in the primary season, speaking at more than 60 rallies since last year's Fight the Oligarchy tour and endorsing more than 90 candidates up and down the ballot.
桑德斯将重返缅因州，此前他曾最初支持格雷厄姆·普拉特纳的参议院竞选。《政治报》披露的指控最终导致他呼吁民主党提名人退出竞选。
He’s also opening his substantial $23 million campaign war chest, POLITICO reported, and contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars toMinnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan’s Senate campaign and others including Angie Nixon in Florida and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Sanders will return to Maine after initially backing Graham Platner’s campaign for Senate. Allegations reported by POLITICO ultimately led him to call on the Democratic nominee to drop out of the race.
自杰克逊从普拉特纳手中赢得提名以来，桑德斯尚未正式背书杰克逊，尽管他此前曾支持杰克逊最初的州长竞选。
Sanders had not formally endorsed Jackson since he clinched the nomination from Platner, though he previously backed Jackson’s initial run for governor.
