据决策台总部(Decision Desk HQ)预测,众议员凯文·赫恩(Kevin Hern,共和党-俄克拉荷马州)将赢得参议院选举。
Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) is projected to win his election for Senate, according to Decision Desk HQ.
赫恩在特朗普总统于三月提名时任参议员马克韦恩·穆林(Markwayne Mullin,共和党-俄克拉荷马州)出任国土安全部部长后宣布参选该席位,在铁红州俄克拉荷马州本是胜选热门。
Hern, who announced his run for the seat after President Trump tapped then-Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) to lead the Department of Homeland Security in March, was the favorite to win in ruby-red Oklahoma.
他击败了民主党候选人、护士兼民主社会主义者恩·基拉·贾斯明·托马斯(N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas)。
He defeated Democrat N’Kiyla Jasmine Thomas, a nurse and democratic socialist.
赫恩获得了州长凯文·斯蒂特(Kevin Stitt,共和党-俄克拉荷马州)和全国共和党人的支持,包括特朗普、参议院多数党领袖约翰·桑恩(John Thune,共和党-南达科他州)以及俄克拉荷马州参议员詹姆斯·兰克福德(James Lankford,共和党)。
Hern notched endorsements from Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-Okla.) and national Republicans, including Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford (R).
斯蒂特今年春天任命参议员艾伦·阿姆斯特朗(Alan Armstrong,共和党-俄克拉荷马州)填补穆林任期的剩余时间。俄克拉荷马州法律规定,被任命的参议员不能竞选完整任期。
Stitt selected Sen. Alan Armstrong (R-Okla.) to fill the remainder of Mullin’s term this spring. Oklahoma law dictates that the appointed senator cannot run for the full term.
在众议院,赫恩曾担任众议院共和党政策委员会主席,也是筹款委员会成员。他于2018年11月宣誓就任众议员。在从事国会山职业生涯之前,赫恩在该州拥有麦当劳特许经营店。
In the House, Hern served as chair of the House Republican Policy Committee and is also a member of the Ways and Means Committee. He was sworn into the House in November 2018. Prior to his career on Capitol Hill, Hern owned McDonald's franchises in the state.
