美联社宣布松井连任加州第7选区众议员，击败同党挑战者 Mai Vang
美联社于美东时间11月10日晚7时46分宣布，民主党现任联邦众议员松井（Doris Matsui）赢得加利福尼亚州第7国会选区选举，击败同为民主党人的 Sacramento 市议员 Mai Vang，保住她自2005年起担任的众议员席位。美联社最新计票显示，松井得票124,027张、得票率53.3%，Mai Vang 得票108,703张、得票率46.7%，该选区约88%的选票已经计出。
加州大选实行初选前两名晋级制，第7选区今年由两名民主党人对决，席位留在民主党手中本无悬念，悬念在于由谁出任。该选区以 Sacramento 为中心，涵盖 Elk Grove、Galt、Lodi 与 Placerville 等地，横跨 Sacramento、El Dorado 与 San Joaquin 三县的部分地区。美联社宣布时依据的周二下午非官方计票为松井104,144票、得票率55.8%，Mai Vang 82,372票、得票率44.2%。
松井现年82岁，2005年在她的丈夫、众议员 Robert Matsui 去世后的特别选举中胜出，此后一直代表 Sacramento 地区出任众议员；她出生于二战期间亚利桑那州的一处日裔拘禁营。41岁的 Mai Vang 以世代交替为主要竞选主张，并在今年6月的初选中得票领先松井。截至11月12日，美联社已宣布众议院423个席位的归属，其中民主党255席、共和党168席，另有12席尚未宣布。（来源：美联社）
AP Calls California's 7th District for Rep. Doris Matsui Over Fellow Democrat Mai Vang
The Associated Press declared at 7:46 p.m. EST on Tuesday, November 10, that Democratic U.S. Rep. Doris Matsui won election in California's 7th Congressional District, defeating fellow Democrat and Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang and keeping the House seat she has held since 2005. The AP's latest count shows Matsui with 124,027 votes, or 53.3 percent, to Vang's 108,703 votes, or 46.7 percent, with about 88 percent of the vote counted.
Under California's top-two primary system, two Democrats advanced to the general election in the 7th District, so the seat was never in doubt for the Democratic Party; the question was which Democrat would hold it. The district is centered on Sacramento and includes Elk Grove, Galt, Lodi and Placerville, taking in parts of Sacramento, El Dorado and San Joaquin counties. In the unofficial returns available on Tuesday afternoon when the AP called the race, Matsui had 104,144 votes, or 55.8 percent, to Vang's 82,372 votes, or 44.2 percent.
Matsui, 82, first won the seat in a 2005 special election held after the death of her husband, Rep. Robert Matsui, and has represented the Sacramento area ever since; she was born in a Japanese internment camp in Arizona during World War II. Vang, 41, campaigned on generational change and had finished first ahead of Matsui in the June primary. As of November 12, the AP has called 423 House seats, with Democrats holding 255 and Republicans 168, and 12 seats still uncalled. (Source: The Associated Press)
