据 Decision Desk HQ 预测，杰西卡·斯坦曼（Jessica Steinmann，共和党）将在得克萨斯州第八国会选区击败劳拉·琼斯（Laura Jones，民主党）。
Jessica Steinmann (R) is projected to defeat Laura Jones (D) in Texas’s 8th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
据 DDHQ 统计，在 91% 的选票已计数情况下，斯坦曼领先琼斯约 10 个百分点。
Steinmann leads Jones by about 10 points with 91 percent of the vote in, per DDHQ.
这位宪法律师将接替众议员摩根·卢特雷尔（Morgan Luttrell，共和党-得克萨斯州），后者是一名 50 岁的前海豹突击队队员，在众议院任职一个任期后离任。
The constitutional lawyer will succeed Rep. Morgan Luttrell (R-Texas), a 50-year-old former Navy SEAL who is departing the lower chamber after one term.
斯坦曼的胜利并不令人意外，她在三月的共和党初选中轻松获胜后，又击败了房地产经纪人琼斯。得克萨斯州立法者去年对该州东南部的第八选区进行了轻微重划。
Steinmann’s win, which came after she cruised to victory in the March Republican primary, is no surprise. She defeated Jones, a real estate agent, after Texas lawmakers last year slightly redrew the 8th District in the southeastern part of the state.
在特朗普首个任期内，斯坦曼曾担任司法部受害者犯罪办公室主任。在特朗普首个任期与现任期之间，她担任美国优先政策研究所执行总法律顾问。
Steinmann was the director of the Justice Department’s Office of Victims of Crime during President Trump’s first term. Between the president’s initial and ongoing term, she was the executive general counsel at the America First Policy Institute.
在后一职位上，斯坦曼领导了针对全国各地民主党政策的法律挑战，并起诉曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格（Alvin Bragg，民主党），指控其最终成功推动对特朗普的起诉。
In the latter role, Steinmann led legal challenges to Democratic policies across the country and sued Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) over his eventually successful efforts to prosecute Trump.
斯坦曼还协助起草了一项对得克萨斯州投票制度作出重大修改的法律。尽管得克萨斯州立法机构中的民主党议员曾离开该州试图阻挠该法案，但孤星州仍于 2021 年通过了该法律。
Steinmann also helped draft a law that made significant changes to Texas’s voting system. The Lone Star State adopted the law in 2021, despite Democrats in the Texas Legislature fleeing the state in an attempt to block it.
在竞选期间，斯坦曼与“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动保持一致，宣称获得了特朗普、得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott，共和党）和参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz，共和党-得克萨斯州）的背书。
On the campaign trail, Steinmann aligned herself with the MAGA movement, touting endorsements from Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
她还抨击多元化、公平与包容（DEI）倡议，誓言禁止跨性别女孩参加女子体育比赛，并支持特朗普对非法移民的打击行动。
She also pushed back on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, vowed to bar transgender girls from playing women’s sports and backed Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
