据Decision Desk HQ预测，休斯顿·盖恩斯将击败民主党候选人帕梅拉·德兰西，赢得佐治亚州第10国会选区的众议院席位。
Gaines set to succeed Georgia’s Collins in House Republican Houston Gaines is projected to win Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ, defeating Democrat Pamela DeLancy in the race for the open House seat.
盖恩斯是一名佐治亚州众议员，获得特朗普总统背书，将接替迈克·柯林斯众议员（R-佐治亚州）。柯林斯放弃众议院席位，转而竞选参议员。
Gaines, a Georgia state representative endorsed by President Trump, will succeed Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.), who gave up his House seat to run for Senate.
盖恩斯的胜利并不意外。该选区包括雅典市，并延伸至佐治亚州东北部和中部的部分地区，被视为共和党的铁板选区，自1992年唐·约翰逊 Jr. 众议员（D-佐治亚州）以来，就没有选出过民主党人。柯林斯在2024年轻松连任，得票率超过63%。
Gaines’s victory came with little surprise. The district, which includes Athens and stretches across parts of northeast and central Georgia, is considered a Republican stronghold and hasn’t elected a Democrat since former Rep. Don Johnson Jr. (D-Ga.) in 1992. Collins easily won reelection in 2024 with more than 63 percent of the vote.
盖恩斯是雅典本地人，自2019年起在佐治亚州众议院任职，担任州众议院共和党党团副主席。他代表巴罗县、克拉克县、杰克逊县和奥科尼县的部分地区。
Gaines, an Athens native, has served in the Georgia House since 2019 and is vice chair of the state House Republican Caucus. He represents portions of Barrow, Clarke, Jackson and Oconee counties.
这位共和党人在5月的三人初选中击败电影高管瑞安·米尔斯普和杰弗里·贝克，在特朗普的背书下获得党内提名。
The Republican won a three-way primary in May against film executive Ryan Millsap and Jeffrey Baker, with Trump’s endorsement helping him secure the party’s nomination.
盖恩斯的竞选主张包括打击非法移民、支持执法部门、削减政府开支和降低税收。他还强调了自己在州立法机构的记录，包括旨在限制无现金保释的立法以及支持州移民执法政策。
Gaines campaigned on cracking down on illegal immigration, supporting law enforcement, cutting government spending and lowering taxes. He also emphasized his record in the state legislature, including legislation aimed at restricting cashless bail and supporting state immigration enforcement policies.
这位共和党人指出，2024年雅典护理专业学生莱肯·莱利遇害案是推动更严格移民法的理由。莱利在慢跑时遭一名委内瑞拉移民袭击并杀害，她的死亡成为全国移民辩论的焦点。
The Republican has pointed to the 2024 murder of nursing student Laken Riley in Athens as a reason for tougher immigration laws. Riley was attacked and killed while jogging by a Venezuelan migrant, and her death became a flash point in the national immigration debate.
在政坛之外，盖恩斯在佐治亚州东北部的一家工程公司卡特工程公司从事业务发展工作。他毕业于佐治亚大学，主修政治学和经济学。
Outside politics, Gaines works in business development at Carter Engineering, an engineering firm in northeast Georgia. He graduated from the University of Georgia, where he studied political science and economics.
他的对手德兰西是一名退役陆军上校兼注册护士，在民主党初选中击败了莱克西·多赫蒂获得提名；多赫蒂曾在2024年挑战柯林斯但未成功。
His opponent DeLancy, a retired Army colonel and registered nurse, won the Democratic nomination over Lexy Doherty, who unsuccessfully challenged Collins in 2024.
