雷吉娜·罗梅罗凭借独特的个人经历，试图在亚利桑那州的战场选区与选民建立联系——她能否赢得这一关键摇摆席位？
Regina Romero draws on unique biography to connect with voters in Arizona battleground – can she flip a key swing seat?
最近一个早晨，图森市长雷吉娜·罗梅罗敲开了一扇黄色的门，门垫上印着一只猫的剪影和“走开，农民”字样。一名年轻男子打开门缝，沉默地站在那里，嘴里还叼着牙刷。
On a recent morning, Tucson mayor Regina Romero knocked on a yellow door above a mat emblazoned with a cat’s silhouette and the words “go away, peasants”. A young man cracked the door open and stood there silently, a toothbrush dangling from his mouth.
在给他一点时间刷完牙之后，罗梅罗向他自我介绍，并询问他是否听说过乔安娜·门多萨——这位民主党人正竞选以夺回共和党籍众议员胡安·西斯科马尼的席位。罗梅罗递给他一份宣传单，并列举了门多萨的优点。那名年轻男子一直面无表情，直到罗梅罗提到门多萨在美国海军陆战队服役近二十年。
After giving him a moment to finish brushing his teeth, the mayor introduced herself and asked if the man had heard of JoAnna Mendoza, the Democrat running to unseat Republican congressman Juan Ciscomani. Romero handed him a pamphlet and rattled off her candidate’s virtues. The young man stood stone-faced, until she mentioned that Mendoza had served for nearly two decades as a US marine.
