一个清洁能源组织正斥资 150 万美元针对众议员洛伦·博伯特(科罗拉多州共和党籍)展开攻击,这是该组织在中期选举周期中针对积极反对可再生能源的共和党人的最新举动。
A clean energy group is launching a $1.5 million spend against Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), its latest effort this midterm cycle targeting Republicans who actively work against renewables.
“投资明天联盟”(Invest in Tomorrow Coalition)此次支出的第一则广告被 POLITICO 获取,广告聚焦于博伯特的一起尴尬事件:她此前因涉嫌在音乐剧《阴间大法师》现场吸电子烟、唱歌并录制演出而被驱逐出场。
The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition’s first ad in the spend, which was obtained by POLITICO, focuses on an embarrassing incident for Boebert: when she was ejected from a live musical performance of “Beetlejuice” for allegedly vaping, singing and recording the show .
“如果洛伦·博伯特在一屋子孩子面前都无法让人信任,那么她在国会大厦里就更不值得信任了,”广告中说道。
“If Lauren Boebert can't be trusted in a room full of kids, then she can't be trusted in the halls of Congress,” the ad says.
该广告未提及清洁能源,也没有提及博伯特对所谓“绿色新骗局”的攻击。
The spot makes no mention of clean energy or Boebert’s attacks on the so-called “Green New Scam.”
这一策略模仿了该组织此前的剧本,他们曾在今年早些时候的共和党初选中利用这一策略帮助击败了众议员安迪·奥格尔斯(田纳西州共和党籍)、众议员奇普·罗伊(德克萨斯州共和党籍)和众议员拉尔夫·诺曼(南卡罗来纳州共和党籍),当时后两人正竞选州级职务。
The strategy mimics the group’s previous playbook that it has deployed to help defeat Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) in their Republican primaries earlier this year, as the latter two sought statewide office.
该政治行动委员会(PAC)曾试图将奥格尔斯刻画为缺席的国会议员,并将罗伊刻画为 MAGA 色彩不足。
The PAC had tried to paint Ogles as an absentee member of Congress and Roy as insufficiently MAGA.
这个由太阳能高管支持的组织在本轮选举周期中已成为一支日益强势的力量,本轮选举迎来了海量的外部资金涌入。
The group, which is backed by solar executives, has become an increasingly forceful player this cycle, which has seen a massive influx of outside spending.
协助运营该组织的 Tusk Strategies 首席执行官克里斯·科菲(Chris Coffey)表示:“这个行业曾被右翼妖魔化,有时被当成出气筒,而该行业过去并未总是进行回击。
“This industry has been villainized and used as a punching bag at times by the right, and the industry hasn't always punched back,” said Chris Coffey, the CEO of Tusk Strategies, which is helping run the group.
也许当他们明年决定把谁当成妖魔化目标时,至少会想:‘你知道吗?我不需要跟那些家伙过不去。’”博伯特所在的选区历来是坚定的红色阵营。
“Maybe when they're deciding who to villainize next year, they will at least be like, ‘You know what? I don't need problems with those guys.’”Boebert’s district is historically deeply red.
但“投资明天联盟”也委托进行了一项民意调查,结果显示其支持率处于水面以下:39%的可能选民对她持好感,55%持反感。
But Invest in Tomorrow also commissioned a poll, which shows she is underwater: 39% of likely voters view her favorably and 55% view her unfavorably.
调查还发现,博伯特在选区内领先民主党候选人艾琳·劳巴赫(Eileen Laubacher)5个百分点。
It also found Boebert leading the district’s Democratic nominee Eileen Laubacher by 5 points.
该民调由 Impact Research 于 9 月 21 日至 24 日进行,调查了 403 名可能选民,误差范围为 ±4.8%。
The poll, conducted by Impact Research from Sept. 21 to 24, polled 403 likely voters and had a margin of error of ±4.8%.
