据Decision Desk HQ预测,密歇根州众议员唐诺万·麦金尼(民主党)将赢得代表密歇根州第13国会选区的竞选,为不断壮大的众议院进步派联盟增添力量。
Michigan state Rep. Donavan McKinney (D) is projected to win the race to represent Michigan's 13th Congressional District, adding to the growing coalition of House progressives, according to Decision Desk HQ.
这位民主社会主义者在初选中击败了现任众议员什里·塔纳达尔(密歇根州民主党),麦金尼将塔纳达尔描绘成脱离群众的亿万富翁。
The democratic socialist had defeated incumbent Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), whom McKinney painted as an out-of-touch multimillionaire, in the primary.
在一个坚定的蓝州选区参选,麦金尼的初选胜利几乎确保他将进入国会。
Running in a solidly blue district, McKinney's primary win all but guaranteed he would be headed to Congress.
在整个竞选期间,麦金尼获得了国会民主党党团进步派成员的一波支持,包括同僚众议员拉希达·特莱布(密歇根州民主党)、参议员伯尼·桑德斯(佛蒙特州无党派)以及国会黑人党团成员。
Throughout his campaign, McKinney gathered a wave of support from progressive members of the congressional Democratic caucus, like fellow Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
进步派政治行动委员会“正义民主党”将麦金尼选为本季度首个背书的候选人,该委员会去年4月表示:“唐诺万代表了民主党应该为之奋斗的未来:工人阶级人士从亿万富翁手中夺回权力,为普通民众服务。始终与人民同在。”
The progressive political action committee Justice Democrats chose McKinney as their first candidate they endorsed this season, saying back in April, "Donavan represents the future Democrats should be fighting for: working class people taking our power back from multimillionaires to deliver for everyday people. Always with the people.”
麦金尼将支持工会作为竞选核心要素,他曾是SEIU密歇根州医疗保健工会的成员。
McKinney made his support for unions a core element of his campaign, having been a former member of SEIU Healthcare Michigan.
“我为所有工会家庭而战,为每个工人拥有组建工会、获得体面工资并能够养家糊口的权利而战。
"I’m fighting for all my union family and for every worker to have the right to form a union, earn a living wage, and be able to provide for their family.
这始于让像埃隆·马斯克、唐纳德·特朗普和国会议员什里·塔纳达尔这样的超级富豪支付他们应承担的份额——就像我们其余的劳动人民已经做的那样,”麦金尼的竞选网站写道。
That starts with making the ultra-wealthy like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Congressman Shri Thanedar pay their fair share — like the rest of us working people already do," McKinney's campaign website states.
麦金尼的胜利发生在塔纳达尔与进步派同僚划清界限、在2023年10月7日哈马斯对以色列发动袭击后放弃民主社会主义者美国分会成员资格之后。
McKinney's win came after Thanedar distanced himself from fellow progressives, renouncing his membership in the Democratic Socialists of America following the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas.
麦金尼将以色列在加沙的行动称为“种族灭绝”,并主张“结束美国向以色列提供的军事援助和武器”。
McKinney has called the actions of Israel in Gaza a "genocide" and argued to "end the military aid and arms that America gives to Israel."
