根据 Decision Desk HQ 的预测，俄克拉荷马州众议员马克·特德福德（共和党）预计将在该州第 1 国会选区的选举中获胜，接替众议员凯文·赫恩（共和党-俄克拉荷马州）。
Oklahoma state Rep. Mark Tedford (R) is projected to win the state’s 1st Congressional District election to replace Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), according to Decision Desk HQ.
特德福德击败了他的民主党对手约翰·克鲁瓦桑，赢得了赫恩留下的空缺席位。赫恩之所以决定竞选俄克拉荷马州的空缺参议员席位，是因为该席位此前由国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林占据。
Tedford beat his Democratic opponent, John Croisant, for the seat Hern left open after he decided to run for Oklahoma’s open Senate seat, which was previously occupied by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
截至周二晚 11 点 47 分，随着 DDHQ 报告了 90% 的选票，这位共和党候选人以略低于 5 个百分点的优势领先克鲁瓦桑 —— 52.3% 对 47.7%。
The Republican led Croisant by just under five percentage points — 52.3 to 47.7 percent — with 90 percent of the vote reported by DDHQ as of 11:47 p.m. Tuesday.
特德福德将自己定位为建制派保守派的选择。他还获得了俄克拉荷马州众议院议长和塔尔萨县三位专员的背书。
Tedford has positioned himself as the establishment conservative choice. He was also endorsed by the Oklahoma House Speaker and the three Tulsa County commissioners.
根据他的竞选网站，他主张严格执行移民法、削减导致通胀的开支、消除联邦层面的浪费和欺诈，以及专注于重振美国经济的条款。
He campaigned on strict enforcement of immigration laws, reducing inflationary spending, eliminating waste and fraud on the federal level and provisions focused on rebuilding the American economy, according to his campaign website.
该众议院席位自 1987 年以来一直由共和党把持，特朗普总统在每次总统竞选中都赢得了该选区。总统最初并未背书特德福德，而是选择支持杰克逊·拉梅耶，一位塔尔萨的牧师。
The House seat has been held by Republicans since 1987 and was carried by President Trump in each of his presidential bids. The president did not endorse Tedford at first, instead choosing to back Jackson Lahmeyer, a Tulsa pastor.
拉梅耶与特朗普家族关系密切，甚至在他的教堂接待过一些家族成员。在《每日邮报》刊登了拉梅耶与一名非其妻子的女性之间的亲密短信后，他退出了初选；短信中，他称对方“可爱”并邀请她去他的酒店房间。
Lahmeyer enjoyed a close relationship with the Trump family, even hosting some family members at his church. He dropped out of the primaries after the Daily Mail published intimate text messages between Lahmeyer and a woman who was not his wife, in which he called her “cute” and invited her to his hotel room.
虽然拉梅耶在 Facebook 上辩称这些信息“被精心挑选，以制造一种不准确的印象”，但他在特朗普撤回背书、转而支持特德福德后退出了初选。
While Lahmeyer argued on Facebook the messages were “carefully cherry-picked to create an impression that is not accurate,” he dropped out of the primaries as Trump rescinded his endorsement, choosing to back Tedford.
“我非常感谢杰克逊·拉梅耶在艰难环境下的辛勤工作——他一直与我同在，我将永远与他同在，”总统在Truth Social上写道。“但是，就俄克拉荷马州第1国会选区当前的国会选举而言，我将支持‘美国优先’爱国者马克·泰福德。”
“I greatly appreciate Jackson Lahmeyer’s hard work under difficult circumstances — He has always been with me, and I will always be with him,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “But, when it comes to the current Congressional race for Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, I will be supporting America First Patriot, Mark Tedford.”
