根据Decision Desk HQ(DDHQ)的预测,民主党人贾丝明·克拉克将赢得佐治亚州第13选区的众议院席位,接替已故的戴维·斯科特。

克拉克在58%的选票计票后以超过81%的得票率击败共和党候选人乔纳森·查韦斯,在亚特兰大以外的蓝色选区赢得胜利。

Clark defeated Republican Jonathan Chavez with over 81 percent of the vote at 58 percent of ballots counted, securing a victory in the blue district outside Atlanta.

此次胜利将把佐治亚州立法者兼微生物学家克拉克送往华盛顿,接替已故的戴维·斯科特众议员(D-佐治亚州)。斯科特在国会任职二十余年后于4月去世。

The win sends the Georgia state lawmaker and microbiologist to Washington, succeeding the late Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.), who died in April after more than two decades in Congress.

克拉克自2019年起在佐治亚州众议院任职,她在5月的民主党初选中脱颖而出,获得超过56%的选票,避免了决选。

Clark, who has served in the Georgia House since 2019, emerged from a crowded Democratic primary in May, winning more than 56 percent of the vote and avoiding a runoff contest.

她的民主党初选对手包括前格威内特县教育委员会主席埃弗顿·布莱尔、佐治亚州参议员伊曼纽尔·琼斯(D)以及牙医兼真人秀明星海文莉·凯姆斯,后者因出演Bravo电视台的《医者情缘》而知名。斯科特的去世极大地重塑了这场竞选,最初几名民主党人都试图击败这位长期现任议员。

Her Democratic primary opponents included former Gwinnett County school board chair Everton Blair, Georgia state Sen. Emanuel Jones (D) and Heavenly Kimes, a dentist and reality TV personality known for appearing on Bravo’s “Married to Medicine.”Scott’s death dramatically reshaped the contest, which initially featured several Democrats seeking to unseat the longtime incumbent.

布莱尔最终在8月的一场特别选举中获胜,将担任斯科特任期的剩余时间,他在决选中击败了已故议员的女儿马西·斯科特。但他并未出现在11月的选票上。

Blair ultimately won a separate special election in August to serve the remainder of Scott’s term, defeating the late lawmaker’s daughter, Marcye Scott, in a runoff. But he was not on the November ballot.

克拉克的对手查韦斯是一名空军退伍老兵和放射学家,服役23年,他在共和党初选中无人对手。DDHQ在选举日前将这场竞选评为“稳固民主党”。

Clark faced Chavez, a 23-year Air Force veteran and radiologist who ran unopposed in the Republican primary. DDHQ rated the race “safe Democratic” heading into Election Day.

克拉克受过科学家训练,拥有埃默里大学微生物学和分子遗传学博士学位,并在该校护理学院担任助理临床教授。

A scientist by training, Clark holds a doctorate in microbiology and molecular genetics from Emory University, where she serves as an assistant clinical professor in the nursing school.

她于2018年首次当选佐治亚州立法机构成员,在亚特兰大郊区翻转了一个共和党持有的席位。

She first won election to the Georgia Legislature in 2018, flipping a Republican-held seat in the Atlanta suburbs.

在州议会任职期间,这位民主党人已成为堕胎权、公共卫生和教育的积极倡导者。竞选期间,克拉克强调自己的科学背景,同时批评特朗普总统的政策,尤其是医疗保健方面的政策。

During her time in the state House, the Democrat has emerged as a vocal advocate for abortion rights, public health and education. On the campaign trail, Clark emphasized her scientific background while criticizing President Trump’s policies, particularly on healthcare.
