据 Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) 预测,Johnny Garcia(民主党)将赢得德克萨斯州第 35 国会选区的众议员席位。该选区在州共和党主导的本届中期重划选区中被重新划分为对共和党有利,现由众议员 Greg Casar(民主党)代表。选区包括圣安东尼奥郊区及周边社区,拥有西班牙裔多数人口和庞大的军人社区。作为 Bexar County 的副治安官,Garcia 击败了共和党提名人 Carlos De La Cruz——一名空军老兵,也是众议员 Monica De La Cruz(共和党)的兄弟。

Johnny Garcia (D) is projected to win the race to represent Texas’s 35th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). The district, which was redrawn in the GOP’s favor during a mid-decade redistricting effort led by state Republicans, is represented by Rep. Greg Casar (D). It includes the suburbs of San Antonio and surrounding communities and has a majority-Hispanic population, as well as a large military community. Garcia, the deputy sheriff in Bexar County, defeated Republican nominee Carlos De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran and brother of Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R).

截至周三凌晨 12:34,DDHQ 统计的 52% 选票显示,Garcia 以近 14 个百分点领先——得票率 56.9% 对 43.2%。

The Democrat led De La Cruz by nearly 14 percentage points — 56.9 to 43.2 percent — with 52 percent of the vote reported by DDHQ as of 12:34 a.m. Wednesday.

Garcia 的竞选主张包括降低州内不断上涨的生活成本、禁止议员炒股、扩大可负担住房获取、保障南部边境安全以及限制州内新建数据中心。他获得 Casar、众议员 Joaquin Castro(民主党-得克萨斯州)和前交通部长 Pete Buttigieg(民主党)的支持。Garcia 多次批评特朗普政府对伊朗的军事行动,以及冲突期间军人死亡、燃油和生活成本随之上涨。“不再有无休止的战争,”他在 8 月底的一条社交媒体帖文中写道。“我参选是因为我们的军人及其家庭值得更好的待遇。”

The Democrat campaigned on lowering rising costs of living in the state, preventing lawmakers from trading stocks, expanding access to affordable housing, securing the southern border and restricting new data center developments in the state. He was supported by Casar, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (D). Garcia has repeatedly criticized the Trump administration’s military operations against Iran and the deaths of service members during this conflict and resulting rise in fuel and living costs. “No more endless wars,” he wrote in a social media post at the end of August. “I’m running because our troops and their families deserve better.”
