州检察长之争对公用事业、数据中心和能源政策都有影响。在密歇根州，如果你不叫阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德或迈克·罗杰斯，现在几乎不可能冲破政治媒体的漩涡。
The battle for state attorney general has implications for utilities, data centers and energy policy. It’s nearly impossible to break through the political media maelstrom in Michigan right now if your name isn’t Abdul El-Sayed or Mike Rogers.
但兰辛、华盛顿及其他地方的共和党和民主党操盘手——更不用说公用事业、能源和医疗保健公司以及律师事务所——都在密切关注这场低调、处于从属地位的角逐，胜者将接替任期届满的民主党州检察长达娜·内塞尔，后者是全美最活跃的企业执法者之一。
But GOP and Democratic operatives in Lansing, Washington and beyond — not to mention utilities, energy and health care companies and law firms — are closely watching the low-profile, undercard struggle to succeed Dana Nessel, the state’s term-limited Democratic attorney general and one of the country’s most active corporate enforcers.
共和党州检察长协会在10月15日向捐赠者发出的筹款呼吁中表示，在今年11月有31个州检察长席位待定的情况下，由两位地方政府检察官——民主党人伊莱·萨维特和共和党人道格·劳埃德——角逐的密歇根州竞选，是该党在惨烈选举环境中翻盘夺席的最佳机会。该呼吁书由《政治报》获得。
With 31 attorney general seats up for grabs in state capitals and D.C. this November, the Republican Attorneys General Association sent donors a fundraising plea Oct. 15, shared with POLITICO, saying that the Michigan race between two local government prosecutors — Democrat Eli Savit and Republican Doug Lloyd — is the party’s best opportunity to flip a seat in a punishing electoral environment.
共和党州检察长协会执行主任亚当·派珀表示：“有两位全州选举产生的官员有能力改变、阻止或改变联邦政策：联邦参议员和州检察长。区别在于，州检察长采取法律行动不需要请求许可。”
As Adam Piper, RAGA’s executive director, put it: “There are two statewide elected officials who have the ability to alter, stop or change federal policy: a U.S. senator and a state attorney general. The difference is a state attorney general doesn’t need to ask permission to take legal action.”
