与科赫家族有关联的政治行动委员会美国繁荣行动(Americans for Prosperity Action)在五个摇摆州的参议院选举中推出了一系列“结案陈词”广告,敦促选民选择共和党候选人而非社会主义。

Americans for Prosperity Action, a political action committee linked to the Koch family, has launched a slate of “closing argument” ads across five battleground Senate races, urging voters to choose Republican candidates over socialism.

《国会山报》获得的这些广告是此前在阿拉斯加、爱荷华、密歇根、新罕布什尔和俄亥俄五州投放的2200万美元广告购买的一部分,从周三起开始在数字平台、连接电视和有线电视上投放。

The ads, which The Hill obtained, are part of an existing $22 million ad buy across Alaska, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire and Ohio. They began running on digital platforms and connected TV and cable starting Wednesday.

每则广告都由一名扮演选民的演员在厨房桌前直接对镜头说话,表达对“账单、价格”的不满。演员们主张社会主义及其主张如“政府接管我家人的医疗保健”和废除私人保险不是解决方案。

Each of the ads features an actor as a voter, speaking directly to the camera from a kitchen table, voicing frustration with “the bills, the prices.”The actors push that socialism and its tenets like the “government taking over my family’s healthcare” and abolishing private insurance, but they are not the solution.

这些州的几名民主党候选人并非社会主义者或与美国民主社会主义者等组织有关联,广告也承认了这一点。但广告仍将这些候选人与更广泛的民主党党以及共和党认为的其左倾趋势联系起来。

Several the Democratic candidates in those states are not socialists or linked to groups like the Democratic Socialists of America, which the ads admit. But they still tie those candidates to the broader Democratic Party and what Republicans perceive as its leftward drift.

“我知道,玛丽·佩尔托拉不是社会主义者,”阿拉斯加广告中的一名演员说。“但她总是跟随她的党。这不是我们曾经认识的民主党。”共和党一直在中期选举中以将社会主义与共和党的小政府、自由市场和对商友好政策相对立为核心信息,希望说服选民认为他们才是降低物价的最佳途径。

“I know, Mary Peltola isn’t a socialist,” said the actor in one of the Alaska ads. “But she always follows her party. This isn’t the Democratic Party we knew.”Republicans have built a midterm message around contrasting socialism with Republican values of small government, free markets and business-friendly policies, hoping to convince voters that they have the best way to bring down prices.

由于特朗普总统的批准率仍然低迷,以及伊朗战争导致油价和其他商品价格居高不下,共和党在这五个州面临逆风。

The GOP is facing headwinds in those five states as President Trump’s approval rating remains low and the war in Iran, which is contributing to high prices for gas and other goods, continues.

美国繁荣行动是一个有影响力的保守派政治团体,通过投放广告和挨家挨户敲门与个别选民交谈等方式支持共和党候选人。

AFPA is an influential conservative political group that supports Republican candidates through ads and door-knocking to talk with individual voters, among other things.
