民主党和共和党在密歇根州5月特别选举州参议院席位时展开战斗, Democrats and Republicans battle in Michigan’s May special election for a state Senate seat, with national issues and representation at stake.

民主党人正在投入资源, 参与密歇根州5月的第35届参议院区特别选举, Democrats are pouring resources into Michigan’s May special election for the 35th state Senate District, covering parts of Midland, Saginaw, and Bay Counties, designating it a key "spotlight" race. 民主提名人Chedrick Greene(Saginaw消防队长)将选民的担忧归咎于特朗普总统(Trump)下的国家政策, 包括关税和移民执法, Democratic nominee Chedrick Greene, a Saginaw fire captain, blames voter concerns on national policies under President Trump, including tariffs and immigration enforcement, and pledges to restore commonsense legislation. 共和党提名人Jason Tunney(Saginaw律师)强调经济问题并批评长达一年的空缺, Republican nominee Jason Tunney, a Saginaw lawyer, emphasizes economic issues and criticizes the year-long vacancy, attributing the delay to Governor Gretchen Whitmer and arguing it left constituents unrepresented. 参议院多数党领袖Winnie Brinks警告共和党获胜可能会阻碍民主党的优先事项, Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks warns a Republican win could block Democratic priorities, as the lieutenant governor’s tie-breaking vote only applies in deadlocked chambers. 该席位将在11月再次竞争,无论5月的结果如何。 The seat will be contested again in November regardless of the May outcome.
