缅因州参议员选战：奥卡西奥-科尔特斯赴 Portland 为杰克逊站台
据 Politico 10月22日报道，纽约州联邦众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez）当天前往缅因州 Portland，在 State Theatre 出席为民主党联邦参议员候选人特洛伊·杰克逊（Troy Jackson）站台的学生市政厅活动。这场名为 Students vs. Billionaires 的活动由 More Perfect University 主办，议题包括租金与学费上涨、言论自由等，学生可现场向两人提问。
杰克逊挑战寻求连任的共和党现任参议员苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins），投票日为11月3日。奥卡西奥-科尔特斯是近期又一位专程为杰克逊助选的全国性人物，此前佛蒙特州联邦参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）、马萨诸塞州联邦参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）已先后到缅因州为其站台。
民调方面，《纽约时报》、Portland Press Herald 与锡耶纳学院9月15日至22日对619名可能投票的选民所做调查显示，柯林斯以49%对46%领先杰克逊，差距在该调查4.9个百分点的误差范围内。选战临近投票日，双方近期还就关税对缅因州家庭与小企业成本的影响展开交锋，杰克逊阵营发言人称关税相当于对缅因州家庭与小企业征税。
Maine Senate Race: Ocasio-Cortez Campaigns in Portland for Jackson
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) traveled to Portland, Maine, on October 22 to campaign for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson at a student town hall, Politico reported. The event, titled Students vs. Billionaires and hosted by More Perfect University at the State Theatre, covered rising rent and tuition and free speech, with students able to question both speakers directly.
Jackson is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who is seeking re-election, in the November 3 election. Ocasio-Cortez is the latest national figure to campaign for Jackson in recent weeks, following Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
A New York Times/Portland Press Herald/Siena College poll of 619 likely voters, conducted September 15-22, found Collins leading Jackson 49% to 46%, a gap within the poll's 4.9-point margin of error. In the final stretch, the two campaigns have also clashed over the cost of tariffs to Maine families and small businesses, with Jackson's campaign spokesperson calling the tariffs a tax on Maine families and small businesses.
