据决策台总部(DDHQ)预测,民主党人肖恩·麦坎将赢得密歇根州第4国会选区,击败长期担任众议员的比尔·惠曾加(共和党)。
Democrat Sean McCann is projected to win Michigan’s 4th Congressional District, ousting longtime Rep. Bill Huizenga (R), according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
惠曾加在众议院代表密歇根州西部已超过十年。虽然他在2024年的上一次选举中轻松获胜,但该选区近年来竞争日益激烈,被视为民主党今年的关键翻盘机会。
Huizenga has represented western Michigan in the House for more than a decade. While he easily won his last race in 2024, the district has become more competitive in recent years and was viewed as a key pickup opportunity for Democrats this year.
麦坎是密歇根州参议员,被纳入民主党众议院竞选委员会的“由红转蓝”计划,旨在翻转共和党把持的席位。
McCann, a member of the Michigan state Senate, was tapped to be part of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red to Blue” program, which aimed to flip Republican-held seats.
他还获得了密歇根州知名民主党人的支持,包括州长格雷琴·惠特默和参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金。DDHQ报道,麦坎以1.81个百分点的优势击败惠曾加。
He also received support from prominent Michigan Democrats, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Sen. Elissa Slotkin. McCann defeated Huizenga by 1.81 percentage points, DDHQ reports.
惠曾加是众议院金融服务委员会的关键成员,去年曾考虑竞选参议员,最终决定寻求在密歇根州西南部选区的连任。
Huizenga, a key player on the House Financial Services Committee, initially weighed a run for Senate last year before seeking reelection in his southwestern Michigan district.
他最终放弃角逐即将卸任的参议员加里·彼得斯(民主党)的席位,为前众议员迈克·罗杰斯作为共和党提名人参选铺平了道路。
He ultimately decided against a bid for retiring Sen. Gary Peters’s (D) seat, clearing the way for former Rep. Mike Rogers to run as the Republican nominee.
