Kennedy Jr. and the massive changes to federal health policy being made by the Trump administration. © AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson Some of the most high-profile races tomorrow are focused on physicians, including Abdul El-Sayed for Senate in Michigan, Amy Acton for governor of Ohio, and Annie Andrews for Senate in South Carolina — a pediatrician who launched her campaign with an ad focused on getting kids vaccinated against measles. If either El-Sayed or Andrews win their respective races, they would be the first Democratic M.D.s in the Senate since 1969; Andrews would be the first practicing Democratic physician in nearly 90 years.
如果埃尔赛德或安德鲁斯各自赢得选举，他们将成为自1969年以来首批进入参议院的民主党医学博士；安德鲁斯将成为近90年来首位在职的民主党医生。今年选举周期参选的非现任医生和护士人数，大约与现任国会议员中的人数相当；七名医生和14名护士，而现任国会中有24名医生和护士。据民主党政治策略师、Lake Research Partners总裁塞琳达·莱克说，肯尼迪的“让美国再次健康”（MAHA）运动激励了医生参选。
There are roughly the same number of non-incumbent doctors and nurses running in this year's election cycle as there currently are in Congress; seven physicians and 14 nurses compared to the 24 doctors and nurses currently in office. According to Celinda Lake, a Democratic political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners, Kennedy's Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has spurred physicians to run for office. "What MAHA has been good for is recruiting them, because so many of them see what’s going on and feel like they have to speak up.
“MAHA的好处在于招募他们，因为这么多人看到正在发生的事情，觉得必须发声。因为许多医疗专业人士不想进入政界，这对他们来说是一个相当新的领域。我认为MAHA所做的，是帮助激励他们参选，”莱克说。医疗保健是本轮选举周期的重点，众多民调显示，民主党在信任度上明显优于共和党。
Because a lot of medical professionals have no desire to enter into politics, and this is a fairly new field for them. And I think what MAHA did was help energize them to run," said Lake.
314 Action 是一家资助拥有科学背景的民主党候选人的政治策略组织，该组织主席肖内西·诺顿表示，堕胎禁令以及“负责卫生与公众服务部的炼金术士散布大量错误信息和虚假信息”等问题，促使该组织许多医生候选人决定参选。“我听到许多参选的医生说，他们得出结论，在诊室里能完成的事情终究有限，”诺顿说。
Health care is a major focus this election cycle, and numerous polls show Democrats have a significant trust advantage over Republicans. Shaughnessy Naughton, president of 314 Action, a political strategy group that funds Democratic candidates with scientific backgrounds, said issues like abortion bans and "an alchemist in charge of HHS putting out just tons of misinformation and disinformation" pushed many of her organization's physician candidates into running.
“如果他们真的想大规模产生影响，那么办法就是迈出那个非常可怕的一步，把自己的名字公之于众，竞选公职。”当然，还有寻求连任的现任共和党籍医生，比如堪萨斯州参议员罗杰·马歇尔（R-堪萨斯州），他过去作为妇产科医生的账单做法已被民主党挑战者亚当·汉密尔顿用于攻击广告。堪萨斯州参议院选举在选举日临近之际变得出人意料地胶着，特朗普总统在该州举办了两场集会，为马歇尔的连任之路助力。
"What I've heard from a lot of the doctors running is that they've come to the conclusion that there's only so much they can accomplish from their exam rooms," said Naughton. "And if they really want to make a difference at scale, this is the way to do it — is to take that very scary step to put your name out there and run for public office." And there are of course the incumbent GOP physicians seeking reelection as well, like Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), whose past billing practices as an OB-GYN have been used in attack ads against him by Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton.
