据决策台总部（DDHQ）预测，共和党人悉尼·格鲁特斯将赢得佛罗里达州第16国会选区的竞选。
Republican Sydney Gruters is projected to win the race to represent Florida’s 16th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
格鲁特斯是共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯的妻子，在她正式参选前就获得了特朗普总统的背书，她将接替她的前老板、众议员弗恩·布坎南（R-佛罗里达州）。DDHQ在选举日之前就预测悉尼·格鲁特斯可能赢得该席位。
Gruters, who is the wife of Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters and was endorsed by President Trump even before she officially entered the race, will take over for her former boss Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.). DDHQ predicted prior to Election Day that Sydney Gruters was likely to win the seat.
截至东部标准时间晚上7点57分，在91%的选区计票完成后，格鲁特斯以50.34%对47.9%领先其民主党对手凯利·基什纳，据DDHQ报道。
Gruters led her Democratic opponent, Kelly Kirschner, 50.34 percent to 47.9 percent with 91 percent of the race called as of 7:57 p.m. EST, per DDHQ.
格鲁特斯是一名长期的众议院工作人员，曾在农业部农村发展办公室工作。她最近担任新学院基金会的发展副总裁兼执行董事。
Gruters is a longtime House staffer and has worked for the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development office. She most recently served as vice president of advancement and executive director at the New College Foundation.

A self-proclaimed native Floridian, Gruters campaigned alongside Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and retiring Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) during her campaign.
她的竞选网站将安全边境、控制通胀和确保选举安全列为首要任务。该网站通过图片和对特朗普政治议程的提及，大量展示特朗普。
