(NewsNation) —— 据报道，一个与共和党结盟的超级政治行动委员会正试图通过推广一名社会主义候选人，来削弱俄亥俄州参议院竞选中民主党候选人的支持率。
(NewsNation) — A PAC aligned with the Republican Party is reportedly looking to quell support for a Democratic candidate in the Ohio Senate race by promoting a socialist candidate.
据《政治报》报道，在民主党籍参议员谢罗德·布朗与共和党籍参议员乔恩·哈斯特德陷入胶着较量之际，“俄亥俄兑现承诺”超级政治行动委员会已累计斥资逾270万美元，用于助推“社会主义与解放党”候选人格雷格·利维并反对布朗。据周二提交的文件显示，该超级政治行动委员会已在利维竞选活动的“媒体投放/媒体制作”及“印刷/邮资”上支出逾120万美元。
With Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republican Sen. Jon Husted in a tight battle, "Enough Promises Ohio" has spent over $2.7 million combined to boost candidate Greg Levy, a Party for Socialism and Liberation candidate, and oppose Brown, Politico reported. As of the filing Tuesday, the PAC has spent over $1.2 million on "media placement/media production" and "printing/postage" on Levy's campaign, the report states. According to Decision Desk HQ, Brown is narrowly favored to win the race, 53% to 47%, over Husted. However, the projected vote share is split equally at 50%.
据Decision Desk HQ预测，布朗以53%对47%微弱领先哈斯特德，但预计得票率将均分至50%。鲍灵格林州立大学10月的一项民调显示利维获得5%选票，表面上该超级政治行动委员会的意图是从布朗阵营拉走选票。
An October poll by Bowling Green State University had Levy at 5% of the vote share, but ostensibly the hope is to pull votes away from Brown. Politico reports that Enough Promises Ohio used a printing company linked to a GOP political firm, Whistlestop Strategies.
《政治报》报道称，“俄亥俄兑现承诺”使用了一家与共和党政治公司“汽笛策略”有关联的印刷公司。利维于10月11日在X平台发帖称，有“虚假冒充我们竞选活动”的邮寄宣传单正发送给俄亥俄州选民。
In an X post on Oct. 11, Levy said mailers "falsely impersonating our campaign" were being sent out to Ohio voters. "The Greg Levy for Senate Campaign has no ties to the entities circulating the mailer and we condemn this attempted deception of voters.
“格雷格·利维参议员竞选团队与散发宣传单的实体没有任何关系，我们谴责这种试图欺骗选民的行为。共和党和民主党操盘手利用财力资源试图欺骗选民，这有据可查。这种做法极不民主，损害了俄亥俄州乃至全国选民的利益，”利维表示。出版前，布朗和哈斯特德的竞选团队均未回应置评请求。
"There is a well-established record of both Republican and Democratic Party operatives using their financial resources to try and trick voters. This is a highly undemocratic practice and does a disservice to voters in Ohio and throughout the country," Levy said. Requests for comment to Brown and Husted's campaigns were not returned prior to publication.
