根据决策桌总部(Decision Desk HQ)的初步计票结果,洛杉矶县监事希尔达·索利斯(Hilda Solis,民主党)预计将赢得加利福尼亚州第38国会选区的席位。该选区是在加州选民去年批准该州重新划区投票倡议后划定的。
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis (D) is projected to win the seat to lead California’s 38th Congressional District, drawn up after Golden State voters passed the state’s redistricting ballot measure last year, according to preliminary results from Decision Desk HQ.
索利斯击败了共和党候选人佩德罗·卡萨斯(Pedro Casas),两人竞争的是原由众议员琳达·桑切斯(Linda Sanchez,民主党-加利福尼亚州)领导的选区。桑切斯在加州选民去年11月批准第50号提案(Proposition 50)后,提交了参选加州第41国会选区的申请。库克政治报告(Cook Political Report)称,该选区坚定支持民主党。
Solis defeated Republican Pedro Casas as the two sought to lead a district formerly led by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), who filed to run in California’s 41st Congressional District after voters approved Proposition 50 last November. The two ran in a district that the Cook Political Report said was solidly in favor of Democrats.
决策桌总部报道称,在近60%的选票计票后,索利斯获得了66%的选票。
With nearly 60 percent of ballots counted, Solis had captured 66 percent of the vote, DDHQ reported.
第38国会选区横跨洛杉矶县和橙县,涵盖钻石吧、工业城、皮科里韦拉、蒙特贝洛和惠蒂尔等城市,惠蒂尔包括前总统理查德·尼克松的故居。
The 38th Congressional District straddles Los Angeles and Orange counties, encompassing cities like Diamond Bar, Industry, Pico Rivera, Montebello and Whittier, which includes the family home of former President Richard Nixon.
作为洛杉矶本地人,索利斯的竞选主张是保护她所说的“受到特朗普政府攻击——我不会袖手旁观,任其发生”的社区。她竞选纲领包括捍卫妇女生殖权利、组织劳工、移民权利以及医疗保健的可及性。
A native Angeleno, Solis campaigned on defending communities she said were “under assault by the Trump administration –– and I won’t just stand by and let it happen.”She ran on defending women’s reproductive rights, organized labor, immigrant rights and access to healthcare.
“我希望第50号提案不必要——但特朗普及其在德克萨斯州和其他地方的盟友正在破坏我们的民主,”她在竞选网站上表示,指的是加州选民去年批准的重新绘制国会选区地图的州级措施。“我们必须以毒攻毒,因为利害关系太重大。”索利斯获得了全州多位民主党领袖的背书,包括前众议院议长南希·佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi,民主党-加利福尼亚州)、洛杉矶市长卡伦·巴斯(Karen Bass,民主党)、洛杉矶县警长罗伯特·卢纳(Robert Luna)以及奇卡诺权利象征和领袖多洛雷斯·乌埃尔塔(Dolores Huerta)。
“I wish Proposition 50 wasn’t necessary – but Trump and his allies in Texas and elsewhere are undermining our democracy,” she said on her campaign website, referring to the Golden State’s state measure redrawing its congressional map approved by voters last year. “We must fight fire with fire, because too much is at stake.”Solis secured several endorsements from Democratic leaders across the state, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna and Chicano rights icon and leader Dolores Huerta.
索利斯此前曾在奥巴马总统第一任期内担任劳工部长。此前,她于2001年至2009年在众议院任职,代表加利福尼亚州第31和第33国会选区。她于1994年成为首位当选加利福尼亚州参议员的西班牙裔女性。
Solis previously served as former President Obama’s Labor secretary during his first term. Before that, she served in the House from 2001 to 2009, representing California’s 31st and 33rd Congressional Districts. She became the first Hispanic woman elected to the California State Senate in 1994.
