从送披萨到竞选艾奥瓦州众议员，22岁的迪伦·菲利昂（Dillon Fillion）希望在自己的摇摆选区创造历史，并激励Z世代拥抱保守主义，他称自己已经在实地看到了这一趋势。
From delivering pizzas to running for an Iowa House seat, 22-year-old Dillon Fillion hopes to make history in his swing district and inspire Gen Z to embrace conservatism, which he says he's already seeing on the ground.
据信是斯科特县有史以来竞选公职的最年轻参选人，菲利昂接受了福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）的采访，谈到了他削减房产税、增加警察经费、赋予父母更多决定孩子教育的权利以及吸引Z世代投票的雄心。
Fillion, believed to be the youngest candidate ever to seek office in Scott County, spoke to Fox News Digital about his ambitions to cut property taxes, boost police funding, give parents more say in their children’s education and draw Gen Z to the polls.
菲利昂说：“我认为大家对年轻人参选感到非常兴奋，因为他们看到很多老面孔在竞选公职，对他们并无不敬，但人们希望看到一些新鲜的新面孔，而且我认为现在是我这一代人挺身而出的时候了。”
"I think people are very excited that a young person is running because they see a lot of these old people running for office, no offense to them, but people wanna see some fresh new faces and I think it's time for my generation to step up," Fillion said.
在宣布竞选艾奥瓦州众议员之前，菲利昂决定从斯科特社区学院（Scott Community College）休学一年，他在那里攻读刑事司法学位。他目前一边担任达美乐（Domino's）披萨送货司机，一边奔波于竞选活动，他将这形容为同时应付“两份全职工作”。
Before launching his bid for the Iowa House, Fillion decided to take a gap year from Scott Community College, where he is pursuing a criminal justice degree. He currently works as a Domino’s delivery driver while hitting the campaign trail, which he described as juggling "two full-time jobs."
媒体关于关键摇摆州将出现“蓝色浪潮”的预测与当地共和党人不合：“士气高涨”他说：“基本上，我既要干一份全职工作，还要搞竞选。”
"Basically, I do a full-time job as well as campaigning," he said.
但竞选并非菲利昂最初的设想。作为一名终身曲棍球迷，他说自己最初的梦想是打职业比赛，之后才涉足政治。
But campaigning wasn’t always Fillion’s vision. A lifelong hockey fan, he said his initial dream was to play professionally before stepping into politics.
菲利昂说，他于2019年对政治产生兴趣，当时他看到民主党人指控唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统与俄罗斯勾结，并称他觉得他们“称呼我们的总统很多奇怪、不实的事情”这很“诡异”。从那时起，他说他陷入了一个“兔子洞”，研究他所描述的民主党内部的腐败，这让他觉得“匪夷所思且令人震惊”。他说：“我只是无法袖手旁观，看着这一切发生，所以我决定参与进来。”
Fillion said he became interested in politics in 2019 after seeing Democrats accuse President Donald Trump of colluding with Russia, saying he found it "weird" they were "calling our president a lot of weird, untrue things." From there, he said he went down a "rabbit hole" researching what he described as corruption within the Democratic Party, which he found "baffling and shocking." "I just couldn't stand back and just watch all this stuff happen, and I decided to get involved," he said.
“保持艾奥瓦伟大！”是菲利昂印在竞选标语和宣传品上的口号，他正努力争取艾奥瓦州选民的支持。根据他的竞选网站，菲利昂在三个兄弟姐妹中排行居中，他的成长经历“植根于基督教家庭价值观、强烈的职业道德，以及无论面对何种挑战都要坚持原则的毅力”。
"Keep Iowa Great!" is the slogan Fillion has plastered across campaign signs and merchandise as he works to win over Iowa voters. One of three siblings, Fillion had an upbringing "grounded in Christian family values, a strong work ethic, and the perseverance to stand by his principles no matter the challenge," according to his campaign website.
菲利昂赞赏查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）帮助像他这样的年轻男子“找到人生目标”并转向保守主义原则。
Fillion credited Charlie Kirk with helping young men like him "find a purpose" and turn to conservative principles.
菲利昂说：“我这一代人中的男性非常保守。他们钦佩保守主义原则。我认为查理·柯克在帮助我这一代年轻男子寻找人生目标方面确实发挥了作用。我认为这确实帮助了我这一代人中的许多男性。我确实认为我这一代人正在保守主义方面朝着正确的方向前进。只是，我认为我这一代人需要在我们的选举中提高投票率。”
"The men in my generation are really conservative. They admire conservative principles. I think Charlie Kirk really helped with the young men in my generation in regard to finding a purpose in life.
莉兹·皮克（LIZ PEEK）：哈桑·皮克（HASAN PIKER）暴露了民主党人夺回年轻男性支持的绝望心态菲利昂将挑战现任民主党州众议员丹尼尔·戈萨（Daniel Gosa），争夺代表艾奥瓦州第81众议院选区的席位。菲利昂表示，他终于有机会在自己的选区“带球冲锋”，并呼吁进行领导层大换血。
And I think that's really helped a lot of men in my generation," Fillion said. "I do think my generation is going in the right direction in regard to conservatism. It's just, I think my generation needs to turn out more in our elections." Fillion will challenge incumbent Democratic state Rep. Daniel Gosa for a seat representing Iowa's 81st House District.
他说：“如果我认为自己赢不了，我就不会参加这场竞选。然而，我的民主党对手并没有为这个选区所关心的事物挺身而出。”
Fillion says he finally has the opportunity to "carry the ball down the field" in his district and is calling for a leadership overhaul. "I wouldn't be in this race if I didn't think I could win it," he said.
根据他的竞选网站，菲利昂获得的最受瞩目的背书包括佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特（Rick Scott）和艾奥瓦州众议院多数党领袖鲍比·考夫曼（Bobby Kaufmann）。
"However, my Democrat opponent does not stand up for the things that this district cares about." Among Fillion’s most high-profile endorsements are Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Iowa House Majority Leader Bobby Kaufmann, according to his campaign website.
民主党人称他们将让生活变得令人负担得起。你的钱包可能会有不同看法菲利昂的首要任务之一是彻底取消房产税。他的竞选网站称，如果这“无法立即实现”，菲利昂将尽最大努力降低税收。他说：“我想让艾奥瓦州保持在可负担性方面的第一名地位。”
One of Fillion’s top priorities is eliminating property taxes completely. His campaign website said if that isn’t "immediately achievable," Fillion will work to lower taxes as much as possible. "I wanna keep Iowa number one in affordability," he said.
犯罪和教育也是菲利昂关心的重点，他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，如果他在11月当选，这将是他的两个首要任务。
Crime and education are also on Fillion’s mind, and he told Fox News Digital those will be two of his top priorities if elected in November.
菲利昂说：“当我进入那个立法机构时，我将提出一项针对《支持警察法》（Back the Blue Act）的宪法修正案，以确保我们的警察受到保护，从而能够正确地履行职责。我将继续赋予家长和老师在我们孩子的教育中的权力，因为家长应该处于你孩子教育的最前沿，而不是政府。”
"When I get into that legislature, I will be introducing a constitutional amendment for the Back the Blue Act to make sure our police are protected so they can do their job correctly," Fillion said. "And I will continue to empower parents and teachers in our kids' education, because parents should be the forefront of your kids' education, not the government."
他说，他的最终目标是让艾奥瓦州成为“生活、工作和养育家庭的第一大州”。
He said his ultimate goal is to make Iowa "the number one state to live, work, and raise a family."
随着选民准备在11月前往投票站，菲利昂表示，他的竞选旨在激发乐观情绪，并向人们展示Z世代希望让世界变得更美好。
With voters preparing to head to the polls in November, Fillion said his campaign aims to spoptimism and show people that Gen Z wants to make the world a better place.
他说：“我只想让我们的国家知道，我这一代人中有人正在竭尽全力试图拯救这个国家。”
"I just want our country to know that there are people in my generation that are doing everything they can to try and save this country," he said.
