华盛顿,3月3日(路透社) – 周二,得克萨斯州选民将投票选出民主党和共和党的候选人,参加今年11月的中期选举。这次选举将决定未来两年美国国会的控制权。得州的选区划分因一场激进的重新划界运动而发生了巨大变化。
以下是中期选举初选之夜值得关注的六场角逐:

格林寻求新领地
以休斯顿为中心的第9国会选区的边界已被重新划定,严重偏向共和党,以至于现任民主党众议员阿尔·格林不得不转战另一选区。
共和党提名的热门候选人包括获州长格雷格·雅培(Greg Abbott)支持的州众议员布里斯科·凯恩(Briscoe Cain),以及曾获总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的前石油天然气金融高管兼小企业主亚历克斯·米勒(Alex Mealer)。
冈萨雷斯面临指控
得州第23国会选区从圣安东尼奥西部延伸至墨西哥边境,其初选因针对三届现任共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯(Tony Gonzales)的指控而备受关注。当地媒体报道称,冈萨雷斯曾向一名助手索要露骨照片,而该助手后来自杀身亡。冈萨雷斯否认了这些指控。
冈萨雷斯的主要对手是枪支制造商布兰登·赫雷拉(Brandon Herrera),他自称“AK枪专家”。赫雷拉被认为比冈萨雷斯更保守。冈萨雷斯曾因投票确认乔·拜登(Joe Biden)2020年选举胜利以及支持2022年通过的一项控枪法案而激怒了许多共和党人。
共和党初选的获胜者在11月大选中获胜的几率极大。
奎利亚尔面临挑战
民主党众议员亨利·奎利亚尔(Henry Cuellar)是众议院21年资深议员,他在圣安东尼奥地区的第28国会选区面临更具挑战性的连任周期。该选区经重新划界后,共和党人更有可能在此获胜。
奎利亚尔被认为是国会中最保守的民主党人,过去几年因法律纠纷使其连任努力复杂化。2023年12月,特朗普赦免了他包括贿赂在内的多项指控,其法律困境得以缓解。
奎利亚尔预计将面对共和党候选人塔诺·蒂赫里纳(Tano Tijerina),他是韦伯县法官,也是前美国职业棒球大联盟球员。蒂赫里纳获得了特朗普和雅培的支持。
共和党人瞄准达拉斯选区
得州第32国会选区,包括达拉斯,其选区划分被大幅调整以偏向共和党,现任民主党众议员朱莉·约翰逊(Julie Johnson)已选择转战邻近选区。
共和党初选中,特朗普、保守派竞选捐款人和美国众议院共和党领袖均支持专攻宪法法律的律师杰斯·亚布罗(Jace Yarbrough)。
其他共和党候选人包括2024年总统竞选失败的瑞安·宾克利(Ryan Binkley);2024年在俄克拉荷马州竞选国会席位失败的保罗·邦达尔(Paul Bondar);以及2024年该席位提名者、自称“MAGA候选人”的达雷尔·戴(Darrell Day)。
文森特·冈萨雷斯的艰难之战
第34国会选区因纳入科珀斯克里斯蒂地区而变得更具竞争力,共和党人因此更有机会在此角逐。这意味着如果文森特·冈萨雷斯(Vicente Gonzalez)在周二的初选中获胜,他将在11月面临一场硬仗。
冈萨雷斯于2017年首次当选,在部分移民问题上有所右倾,并投票支持禁止跨性别运动员参加女子运动的法案。近年来,他的选民构成已更偏向共和党。
自称为民主社会主义者的研究员兼学者埃蒂安·罗萨斯(Etienne Rosas)正挑战冈萨雷斯的初选地位。
七位候选人角逐共和党提名,其中两位姓弗洛雷斯。
埃里克·弗洛雷斯(Eric Flores)是得州前联邦检察官,获得特朗普、雅培及其他共和党重要人物的支持。前美国众议员梅拉·弗洛雷斯(Mayra Flores)曾两次在大选中败于冈萨雷斯,但她仍寄望于选民的高知名度。
自由派奥斯汀选区重划
重新划界使第35国会选区(连接自由派倾向的奥斯汀和圣安东尼奥)对共和党更具竞争力,现任民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨(Greg Casar)因此转战其他选区。
11位候选人角逐共和党提名,其中四位被视为最具竞争力,包括获雅培支持的州众议员约翰·卢汉(John Lujan);前市场营销专业人士约书亚·科尔特斯(Joshua Cortez);空军退伍军人、踢拳馆老板卡洛斯·德拉克鲁兹(Carlos De La Cruz),以及2024年败于奎利亚尔的海军退伍军人杰伊·弗曼(Jay Furman)。
民主党候选人包括前治安官副手约翰尼·加西亚(Johnny Garcia);租户组织者莫林·加林多(Maureen Galindo);曾寻求国会席位的约翰·利拉(John Lira),以及拥有体育射击场的惠特尼·马斯特森-莫耶斯(Whitney Masterson-Moyes)。

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) – Voters in Texas on Tuesday will pick Democratic and Republican candidates for November’s midterm elections that will determine control of the U.S. Congress for the next two years, in a state where races have been shaken up dramatically by an aggressive redistricting campaign.
Here are six races to watch on the first night of the midterm primary season:

GREEN SEEKS NEW PASTURES
The boundaries of the Houston-area 9th congressional district have been redrawn to heavily favor Republicans, enough so that incumbent Democratic U.S. Representative Al Green is running in another district.

The top candidates for the Republican nomination are state Representative Briscoe Cain, who has been endorsed by Governor Greg Abbott, and Alex Mealer, a former oil and gas finance executive and small business owner, who has won the backing of President Donald Trump.
GONZALES FACES ALLEGATIONS
The primary for Texas’ 23rd congressional district, which runs from western San Antonio to El Paso along the Mexican border, has been shaken up by allegations directed at three-term incumbent Republican Representative Tony Gonzales, who local media has reported solicited explicit photos from an aide who later died by suicide. Gonzales denies the charges.

Gonzales’ main opponent is Brandon Herrera, a firearms manufacturer who calls himself “the AK guy.” Herrera is seen as more conservative than Gonzales, who angered many Republicans after he voted to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory and backed a 2022 gun control bill that was enacted into law.
The winner of the Republican primary is heavily favored to win in November.
CUELLAR FACES A CHALLENGE
Democratic Representative Henry Cuellar, a 21-year House veteran, faces a more challenging reelection cycle for his San Antonio-area 28th congressional district, which was redrawn to make it more competitive for Republicans.
Arguably the most conservative Democrat in Congress, Cuellar faced years of legal troubles that made past reelection efforts more complicated. His legal woes eased in December when Trump pardoned him of charges including bribery.

Cuellar is expected to face Republican Tano Tijerina, a Webb County judge and a former Major League Baseball player. Tijerina has endorsements from Trump and Abbott.
REPUBLICANS EYE DALLAS PICKUP
Texas’ 32nd congressional district, which includes Dallas, has been redrawn so dramatically in Republicans’ favor that incumbent Democratic Representative Julie Johnson has opted to run in a neighboring district.
The Republican primary features Jace Yarbrough, a lawyer specializing in constitutional law who has won endorsements from Trump, conservative campaign contributors and leading Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Other Republican candidates include Ryan Binkley, who staged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2024; Paul Bondar, who ran for Congress in Oklahoma in 2024, and Darrell Day, the nominee for this seat in 2024 who labels himself the “MAGA candidate.”
VICENTE GONZALEZ’S TOUGH FIGHT
The 34th congressional district has also been made more competitive for Republicans by the addition of the Corpus Christi area, meaning that Democratic Representative Vicente Gonzalez will have a fight on his hands in November if he wins Tuesday’s primary.
Gonzalez, who was first elected in 2017, has moved somewhat to the right on some immigration issues and voted for a bill banning transgender athletes from playing in girls’ sports, as his constituents have become more Republican-oriented in recent years.
Self-identified democratic socialist Etienne Rosas, a researcher and academic, is mounting a primary challenge to Gonzalez.
Seven candidates are seeking the Republican Party nomination. The top two are both named Flores.
Eric Flores, a former federal prosecutor in Texas, has won endorsements from Trump and Abbott, as well as other prominent Republicans. Mayra Flores, a former U.S. House member, subsequently was defeated twice by Gonzalez in general elections — and has lost Trump’s backing.
Nevertheless, she is banking on strong name recognition from voters.
LIBERAL AUSTIN DISTRICT REDRAWN
Redistricting has also made the 35th congressional district, which linked the liberal-leaning cities of Austin and San Antonio, more competitive for Republicans, enough so that the incumbent Democrat, Representative Greg Casar, is running in a different district.
Eleven candidates are seeking the Republican nomination, with four seen as the most competitive. They include state Representative John Lujan, who has Abbott’s blessing; former marketing professional Joshua Cortez; Air Force veteran and kickboxing gym owner Carlos De La Cruz, and Navy veteran Jay Furman, who lost to Cuellar in 2024.
Democratic candidates include: Johnny Garcia, a former sheriff’s deputy; Maureen Galindo, an organizer for tenants; John Lira, who has previously sought a seat in Congress, and Whitney Masterson-Moyes, who owns a sporting clays range.
