(NewsNation) — 据报道，一个与共和党有关联的政治行动委员会（PAC）正试图通过推广社会主义候选人来削弱对民主党参选人的支持。
(NewsNation) — A PAC aligned with the Republican Party is reportedly looking to quell support for a Democratic candidate in the Ohio Senate race by promoting a socialist candidate.
在民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗和共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德的激烈竞争中，‘Enough Promises Ohio’已花费超过270万美元来支持‘社会党和解放党’的候选人格雷格·莱维，并反对布朗。
With Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republican Sen. Jon Husted in a tight battle, "Enough Promises Ohio" has spent over $2.7 million combined to boost candidate Greg Levy, a Party for Socialism and Liberation candidate, and oppose Brown, Politico reported.
据Politico报道，截至周二提交文件时，该PAC已在莱维的竞选活动中花费了超过120万美元用于‘媒体投放/制作’和‘印刷/邮资’。
As of the filing Tuesday, the PAC has spent over $1.2 million on "media placement/media production" and "printing/postage" on Levy's campaign, the report states.
根据Decision Desk HQ的数据，布朗以53%对47%的微弱优势领先赫斯特德，但预计的得票率各为50%。
According to Decision Desk HQ, Brown is narrowly favored to win the race, 53% to 47%, over Husted. However, the projected vote share is split equally at 50%.
鲍灵格林州立大学10月份的一项调查显示莱维的得票率为5%，但他们的目标是从布朗那里争取选票。
An October poll by Bowling Green State University had Levy at 5% of the vote share, but ostensibly the hope is to pull votes away from Brown.
Politico指出，‘Enough Promises Ohio’使用了一家与共和党政治机构Whistlestop Strategies有关联的印刷公司。
Politico reports that Enough Promises Ohio used a printing company linked to a GOP political firm, Whistlestop Strategies.
莱维在10月11日的一条X帖子中表示，有‘伪造我们竞选活动的传单’被寄发给俄亥俄州的选民。
In an X post on Oct. 11, Levy said mailers "falsely impersonating our campaign" were being sent out to Ohio voters.
‘格雷格·莱维参议院竞选团队与分发这些传单的实体没有任何关系，我们谴责这种欺骗选民的行为。’
"The Greg Levy for Senate Campaign has no ties to the entities circulating the mailer and we condemn this attempted deception of voters.
长期以来，共和党和民主党成员都曾利用他们的财务资源试图欺骗选民。这种做法极不民主，对俄亥俄州乃至全国的选民都是不利的。’在发布前，我们未能联系到布朗和赫斯特德的竞选团队获取评论。
"There is a well-established record of both Republican and Democratic Party operatives using their financial resources to try and trick voters. This is a highly undemocratic practice and does a disservice to voters in Ohio and throughout the country," Levy said. Requests for comment to Brown and Husted's campaigns were not returned prior to publication.
