今日来自全国各地的竞选相关新闻汇总。
Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
- 在备受关注的俄亥俄州联邦参议员竞选中，最新的马里斯特民调显示，前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗以 48% 对 44% 领先现任共和党参议员乔恩·休斯特德，这大致与该州大多数其他近期民调结果一致。
- In Ohio’s closely watched U.S. Senate race, the latest Marist Poll found former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown ahead of incumbent Republican Sen. Jon Husted, 48% to 44%, which is roughly in line with most of other recent surveys in the state.
话虽如此，竞选中有一位名为格雷格·利维的社会主义候选人，他没有切实的获胜机会，但突然获得了共和党的支持，这显然是为了分裂左翼、削弱对布朗候选人的支持。
That said, there is a socialist candidate in the race named Greg Levy, who doesn’t have a realistic chance of success but who’s suddenly picking up Republican support as part of an apparent effort to divide the left and undermine support for Brown’s candidacy.
例如，一家与共和党公司有关联的超级政治行动委员会最近开始代表这位社会主义候选人发送邮寄广告；本周，《政治客》报道称，同一个名为“俄亥俄州承诺已足够”的共和党系超级政治行动委员会已“将其投入增加两倍多”以支持利维的竞选。
For example, a super PAC tied to a Republican firm recently started sending out mailers on behalf of the socialist candidate; and this week, Politico reported that the same GOP-aligned super PAC, called Enough Promises Ohio, has “more than tripled its investment” in support of Levy’s candidacy.
《政治客》的报道补充道：“利维本人已与该超级政治行动委员会划清界限，称其对他的捧场是‘试图欺骗选民’，属于‘一种数字黑脸秀’。利维是黑人。他的发言人查理·克尼格斯马克也告诉《政治客》，他和竞选团队‘完全谴责这种操纵选民的企图’。”
- 尽管佐治亚州的联邦参议员竞选受到了大量关注（有充分理由），但该州的州长竞选正证明是一场竞争更为激烈的较量：《亚特兰大宪法报》最新民调显示，共和党人里克·杰克逊以 46% 对 45% 的最微弱优势领先亚特兰大前民主党市长凯莎·兰斯·博特姆斯。
The Politico report added, “Levy himself has distanced himself from the PAC, calling its boosting of him an ‘attempted deception of voters’ that’s ‘a form of digital blackface.’ Levy is Black. His spokesperson, Charlie Koenigsmark, also told Politico that he and the campaign ‘completely condemn this attempt to manipulate voters.’” * While Georgia’s U.S. Senate race has received a lot of attention (for good reason), the state’s gubernatorial race is proving to be an even more competitive contest: The latest Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll found Republican Rick Jackson leading Keisha Lance Bottoms, Atlanta’s former Democratic mayor, by the narrowest of margins, 46% to 45%.
- 说到有趣的州长竞选，最新的阿拉斯加调查研究民调显示，民主党人乔纳森·克赖斯-汤金斯以 54% 对 46% 领先共和党人伯纳德特·威尔逊。阿拉斯加现任州长、共和党人迈克·邓利维因任期限制，无法寻求第三个任期。
- Speaking of interesting gubernatorial races, the latest Alaska Survey Research poll found Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins ahead of Republican Bernadette Wilson, 54% to 46%. Alaska’s incumbent governor, Republican Mike Dunleavy, is term-limited and cannot seek a third term.
- 在俄克拉荷马州州长竞选中，这场竞选也被证明出人意料地激烈，民主党州长协会正在新增投资，支持州众议员辛迪·芒森的竞选，她在这场空缺席位的竞选中对阵前共和党州参议员迈克·马泽伊。
- In Oklahoma’s gubernatorial race, which is also proving to be unexpectedly competitive, the Democratic Governors Association is making a new investment in support of state Rep. Cyndi Munson’s candidacy, who’s running against former Republican state Sen. Mike Mazzei in this open-seat contest.
- 在备受关注的德克萨斯州美国参议院竞选中，休斯顿大学最新民调显示，民主党州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科以48%对46%微弱领先共和党州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿，这与其他最近的全州范围调查大致一致。
- In Texas’ closely watched U.S. Senate race, the latest University of Houston poll in showed Democratic state Rep. James Talarico narrowly leading Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton, 48% to 46%, which is roughly in line with other recent statewide surveys.
- 在马萨诸塞州州长竞选中，最新的WCVB/马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校民调发现，现任民主党州长莫拉·希利以57%对32%大幅领先共和党人迈克·米诺格。
- And in Massachusetts’ gubernatorial race, the latest WCVB/University of Massachusetts Amherst poll found incumbent Democratic Gov. Maura Healey with a massive advantage over Republican Mike Minogue, 57% to 32%.
