预测显示,民主党人约翰尼·加西亚于周二赢得得克萨斯州新重划的第35国会选区,克服了旨在实现该席位翻转的偏向共和党的地图。此前,选区重划将民主党籍众议员格雷格·卡萨尔挤到了另一个选区。
Democrat Johnny Garcia is projected to win Texas' newly redrawn 35th Congressional District on Tuesday, overcoming a Republican-favored map designed to flip the seat after redistricting pushed Democratic Rep. Greg Casar into another district. Garcia, a Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy, defeated Republican candidate Carlos De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran who was backed by President Donald Trump.
加西亚是一名贝尔县治安官副警长,他击败了获得总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的共和党候选人、空军退伍军人卡洛斯·德拉克鲁斯。
"Carlos De La Cruz just called and conceded the race, and I thanked him for a hard fought campaign," Garcia posted on X. "I'm grateful to the voters of TX-35 for their trust.
“卡洛斯·德拉克鲁斯刚刚打电话承认竞选失利,我感谢他进行了这场竞争激烈的竞选,”加西亚在X平台上发帖称。“我很感激得州第35选区选民对我的信任。无论你是否投了我的票,我都将为降低你的生活成本、让医疗服务负担得起以及维护我们社区的安全而战。感谢所有让这一切成为可能的人!”这场竞选成为对得州共和党人十年中期选区重划战略的一次备受关注的检验,该战略旨在巩固共和党对美国众议院的控制,以迎接2026年中期选举。
Whether or not you voted for me, I'll fight to lower your costs, make healthcare affordable, and keep our community safe. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!" The contest became a closely watched test of Texas Republicans' mid-decade redistricting strategy, which sought to strengthen the GOP's grip on the U.S. House ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
在总统唐纳德·特朗普的敦促下,共和党议员在2025年大幅重塑了该选区,将一个民主党大本营变成了一片在2024年总统大选中会以大约10个百分点的优势支持特朗普的领地。
Republican lawmakers dramatically reshaped the district in 2025 at President Donald Trump's urging, transforming a Democratic stronghold into territory that would have favored Trump by roughly 10 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election.
这次大改组还逼走了该选区的民主党现任议员卡萨尔,他选择在新配置的第37国会选区竞选,而不是捍卫他原来的席位。
The overhaul also displaced the district's Democratic incumbent, Casar, who opted to seek election in the newly configured 37th Congressional District rather than defend his former seat.
新的第35选区涵盖了圣安东尼奥的部分地区以及贝尔县及邻近县的周边社区。这场竞选让两位背景截然不同的候选人展开了对决。
The new 35th District covers portions of San Antonio and surrounding communities in Bexar County and neighboring counties. The race pitted two candidates with sharply different backgrounds against one another.
德拉克鲁斯是一名有20年服役经历的空军退伍军人和前健身房老板,他带着特朗普的背书和华盛顿显赫的家族关系进入了大选。他的姐姐、共和党众议员莫妮卡·德拉克鲁斯代表得克萨斯州第15国会选区。
De La Cruz, a 20-year Air Force veteran and former gym owner, entered the general election with Trump's endorsement and a prominent family connection to Washington. His sister, GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz, represents Texas' 15th Congressional District.

加西亚是贝尔县的一名资深治安官副警长,他以温和派、强调法律与秩序的民主党人身份参加竞选,在向选民拉票时强调工薪家庭和家庭开支。
Garcia, a longtime Bexar County sheriff's deputy, campaigned as a moderate, law-and-order Democrat, emphasizing working families and household costs in his appeal to voters.
两位候选人都从竞争激烈的5月党内初选决胜轮中脱颖而出,其中德拉克鲁斯击败了共和党籍州众议员约翰·卢扬,加西亚则战胜了民主党对手莫琳·加林多。
Both candidates emerged from competitive May primary runoffs, with De La Cruz defeating Republican state Rep. John Lujan and Garcia overcoming Democratic rival Maureen Galindo.
该选区以西班牙裔为主的选民群体,也将这场竞选置于一个更广泛的政治问题中心:在没有总统本人参选的中期选举中,共和党人能否维持特朗普在2024年西班牙裔选民中的得票增长。
The district's Hispanic-majority electorate also placed the race at the center of a broader political question: whether Republicans could sustain Trump's 2024 gains among Hispanic voters in a midterm election without the president himself on the ballot.

这一结果的影响超出了得州南部,它是一次检验,看选区重划是否能将有利的总统投票格局转化为国会胜选,还是候选人的吸引力和不断变化的选民优先事项会打乱这些算盘。
The outcome carries implications beyond South Texas, offering a test of whether redistricting can translate favorable presidential voting patterns into congressional victories or whether candidate appeal and changing voter priorities can disrupt those calculations.
由于众议院的控制权在全国范围内悬于一线,这场竞选成为了吸引两党关注的得州多个战场之一。
With control of the House at stake nationally, the race became one of several Texas battlegrounds drawing attention from both parties.
