参议员苏珊·柯林斯（苏珊·柯林斯，缅因州，共和党）表示，一则新的广播广告称她的对手、民主党参议员候选人特洛伊·杰克逊为“怪人”，应该撤下。
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said a new radio ad calling her opponent, Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson a “creep” should be taken down.
据美联社报道，该广告在缅因州电台播出，包含一首乡村歌曲的曲调，歌词称“如果他连自己的家人都能害，那他也会害你家人”。
The ad, airing on Maine radio, includes lyrics to the tune of a country song that say, “if he’ll screw his own family, he’ll screw yours too,” the Associated Press reported.
该广告来自参议院领导基金，这是一个与参议院共和党结盟的超级政治行动委员会。
The ad is from the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with Senate Republicans.
在利斯顿的一次竞选活动中，柯林斯否认了该广告，并表示应将其从电波中移除，同时指出联邦法律禁止她与该超级政治行动委员会协调，以此与之划清界限。
During a campaign appearance in Lewiston, Collins disavowed the ad and said it should be removed from the airwaves, while distancing herself from it by noting that federal law bans her from coordinating with the super PAC.
该广告基于柯林斯早些时候在接受《政治》杂志采访时提出的关于杰克逊与其表亲关系的说法。“我不会提起他两个孩子的母亲是他的表亲这件事，”柯林斯说。“我不知道人们是否知道这一点。”
The ad hinges on the claim, Collin earlier made in an interview with Politico about Jackson’s relationship with his second cousin. “I’m not going to bring up the fact that the mother of his two children is his second cousin,” Collins said. “I don’t know whether people know that or not.”
上周，两位候选人在即将举行的选举前的最后一场辩论中交锋，就包括移民改革、竞选资金在内的多个问题互相抨击。
The two candidates sparred in a final debate last week, ahead of the upcoming elections, where they took jabs at each other on a number of issues including immigration reform, campaign financing and more.
在激烈的辩论中，一名反数据中心抗议者在柯林斯继续发言时造成中断，称那是“特洛伊的支持者之一”。杰克逊回应说：“闭嘴吧。我甚至不认识那个孩子。”
During the heated debate, an anti-data center protester caused an interruption as Collins continued speaking, saying that it was “one of Troy’s supporters.”Jackson responded by saying, “Oh, shut up. I don’t even know that kid.”
据《国会山报》的选举合作伙伴决策办公室总部显示，杰克逊赢得参议院选举的概率为56%，柯林斯的概率为44%。
The Hill’s election partner Decision Desk HQ shows a 56 percent probability of Jackson winning the Senate race, with a 44 percent probability for Collins.
