被停职的棕榈滩县法院书记迈克·卡鲁索表示，他仍然“打算赢得”11月的选举，并没有放弃竞选活动——当地共和党也没有抛弃他——即使他在8月因涉嫌猥亵一名幼童被捕。
Suspended Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso said he still “intend[s] to win” the November election and has not abandoned his campaign — nor has the local Republican Party abandoned him — even after his August arrest on allegations he molested a small child.
在通过其发言人朱达·恩格尔迈耶向《迈阿密先驱报》发表的声明中，卡鲁索表示，尽管有相反的迹象，他仍在竞选书记兼审计长一职。卡鲁索的竞选网站已关闭，其竞选财务报告显示，他退还了两名近期捐款人和一家竞选数据供应商的款项。
In a statement to the Miami Herald issued via his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, Caruso said he is still running for the clerk and comptroller post, despite indications to the contrary. Caruso’s campaign website is down, and his campaign finance reports show he refunded two recent contributors and a campaign data vendor.
