布蒂吉格26日将为佛州第22选区印裔候选人丹迪亚助选
10月24日，据印度亚洲新闻社（IANS）引述《佛罗里达政治》报道，美国前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格将于10月26日星期一前往佛罗里达州，为第22国会选区民主党候选人、印度裔美国人皮娅·丹迪亚助选，两人将在普兰泰申共同出席一场拉票启动活动。丹迪亚表示，很荣幸能请到布蒂吉格助阵，并称要在最后冲刺阶段争取南佛罗里达各背景选民的信任。同一天，她还将前往那不勒斯，这是她第三次访问科利尔县。
第22选区是佛州最受关注的众议员选区之一：该选区今年春季经州议会重划后，共和党登记选民优势约为3.85万人，现任民主党议员路易丝·弗兰克尔未寻求连任；在新划界内，约55%的选民在2024年支持特朗普。无党派的库克政治报告已将该选区评级从“倾向共和党”调整为“胶着”；8月底的最近一次公开民调显示丹迪亚领先2个百分点。丹迪亚已入选民主党国会竞选委员会的“由红转蓝”重点扶持名单。佛州强制提前投票期为10月24日至31日，选举日为11月3日。

Buttigieg to Campaign Oct. 26 for Indian American Candidate Dandiya in Florida's 22nd District
On Oct. 24, according to a report by Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) citing Florida Politics, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg will travel to Florida on Monday, Oct. 26, to campaign for Pia Dandiya, the Democratic candidate and Indian American running in the 22nd Congressional District, and the two will attend a canvass launch event together in Plantation. Dandiya said she was honored to have Buttigieg join her and that she wants to earn the trust of voters of all backgrounds in South Florida in the final stretch. On the same day, she will also travel to Naples, her third visit to Collier County.
The 22nd District is one of Florida's most closely watched House districts: after the state legislature redrew it this spring, registered Republican voters hold an advantage of about 38,500, incumbent Democratic Rep. Louise Frankel did not seek re-election, and within the new boundaries about 55% of voters supported Trump in 2024. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has changed its rating for the district from Lean Republican to Toss Up; the most recent public poll, from late August, showed Dandiya ahead by 2 percentage points. Dandiya has been named to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Red to Blue list of priority candidates. Florida's mandatory early voting period runs from Oct. 24 to 31, and Election Day is Nov. 3.
