阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦赢得亚利桑那州第七国会选区特别选举

摘要

阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦当选,完成其已故父亲在亚利桑那州第七国会选区的任期,进一步缩小众议院共和党多数席位。

民主党人阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦在亚利桑那州第七国会选区的特别选举中获胜,接替其已故父亲劳尔·格里哈尔瓦的职位。劳尔于三月因癌症治疗并发症去世。格里哈尔瓦曾任皮马县监督员和图森学区董事会成员,她以约70%的选票击败了共和党小企业主丹尼尔·布蒂雷斯。

格里哈尔瓦宣誓就职后,将履行其父亲剩余的15个月任期,使众议院共和党多数席位缩减至219比214。这一变化正值国会面临政府开支及其他紧迫议题的关键决策时刻。

格里哈尔瓦的竞选活动强调她致力于延续父亲的进步主义遗产,同时开辟自己的道路。她获得了亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利和鲁本·加尔莱戈,以及全国进步派人物如参议员伯尼·桑德斯和众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的支持。

在胜选演讲中,格里哈尔瓦感谢支持者,并强调此次胜利的重要性,她表示:“仅凭姓氏无法赢得社区的信任,服务才是关键。”

此前曾在2024年与劳尔·格里哈尔瓦竞选的布蒂雷斯,将竞选重点放在解决无家可归危机和促进社区团结上。尽管败选,他强调了自己努力接触传统上服务不足地区的工作,他说:“我让共和党人开始关注南区,这是前所未有的。”

格里哈尔瓦的胜利具有历史意义,她成为首位代表亚利桑那州进入国会的拉丁裔女性。她将服务至2026年12月其父亲任期结束。
