获得美国民主社会主义者协会支持的堪萨斯城租户组织者未能进入大选
作者：摩根·菲利普斯 福克斯新闻
当地时间周二，律师、空军退伍军人、前密苏里州助理总检察长乔丹·埃雷拉在密苏里州最新重划的第4国会选区民主党初选中胜出，击败了资金更为雄厚的民主社会主义候选人哈特泽尔·格雷，该初选共有7名候选人参与角逐。
埃雷拉击败了33岁的格雷——这位前堪萨斯城电台主持人、租户组织者曾登上哈桑·皮克尔的Twitch直播频道，抨击“背叛民主党人”，因此受到全国关注。
此次结果意味着11月的大选 ballot 上，将由一位更为传统的民主党人对阵共和党现任议员马克·奥尔福德，而非格雷。格雷此前将自己的竞选定位为对民主党建制派的左翼挑战。

新划分的第4选区涵盖堪萨斯城部分区域，向南延伸至密苏里州大片郊区和农村地区。尽管新地图让奥尔福德所在选区的共和党优势有所缩小，但该选区仍属于稳固的共和党席位。
格雷曾是民主党初选中明显的筹款领先者。联邦选举委员会记录显示，截至7月中旬，他的竞选团队已筹集约25万美元，是埃雷拉筹集的约4万美元的6倍多，也远超2024年民主党提名候选人、此次再次参选的珍妮特·卡斯。
堪萨斯城民主社会主义者协会表示，支持格雷是该协会首次在联邦选举中背书候选人。该协会称赞格雷拒绝接受企业、开发商和游说团体的捐款，并指出他支持全民医保、租户保护和更累进的税收政策。

格雷还呼吁实施租金管制、推行“全民医保”并废除最高法院的“联合公民诉联邦选举委员会”案判决。他将自己的竞选定位为对民主党党的谴责，他认为民主党已过于紧密地绑定在富裕捐赠者和企业利益之上。2010年的这项判决允许企业和工会无限制地独立支出以影响选举。
他在皮克尔节目中的亮相让这场原本低调的密苏里州初选成为民主党左翼社会主义派别的一个小型试金石。该派别日益依赖社交媒体名人、小额捐款人和 activist 网络，在传统政党结构之外建立支持基础。

格雷的竞选团队表示，在登上皮克尔的节目后，观众捐款超过3万美元。随后他又亮相另一左翼在线节目《多数党报告》，他的竞选团队试图将全国关注度转化为堪萨斯城的投票率。

Socialist tenant organizer who blasted ‘sell-out Democrats’ loses Midwest primary

The Kansas City tenant organizer backed by DSA failed to advance to the general election
By Morgan Phillips Fox News
Jordan Herrera, an attorney, Air Force veteran and former Missouri assistant attorney general, won the Democratic nomination Tuesday in Missouri’s newly redrawn 4th Congressional District, defeating better-funded democratic socialist Hartzell Gray in a seven-way primary.
Herrera prevailed over Gray, the 33-year-old former Kansas City radio host and tenant organizer who drew national attention after appearing on Hasan Piker’s Twitch livestream and blasting “sell-out Democrats.”
The result puts a more conventional Democrat on the November ballot against Republican Rep. Mark Alford in the GOP-leaning district, rather than Gray, who had framed his campaign as a left-wing challenge to the party establishment.

The new 4th District takes in part of Kansas City before extending south through a broad swath of suburban and rural Missouri. While the map made Alford’s district less Republican than it had been, it remains a solidly GOP seat.
Gray emerged as the clear financial leader in the Democratic field. FEC records showed his campaign had raised about $250,000 through mid-July — more than six times the roughly $40,000 raised by Herrera and far more than Cass, the 2024 Democratic nominee who again sought the seat.
The Kansas City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America said its backing of Gray marked its first endorsement in a federal race. The group praised Gray’s refusal to take money from corporations, developers and lobbying groups, while pointing to his support for universal health care, tenant protections and more progressive taxation.

Gray, who has also called for rent controls, Medicare for All and ending the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, has framed his campaign as a rebuke of a Democratic Party he argues has become too closely tied to wealthy donors and corporate interests. The 2010 ruling allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited sums independently to influence elections.
His appearance on Piker’s show helped turn an otherwise low-profile Missouri primary into a small test case for the party’s socialist left, which has increasingly relied on social media personalities, small-dollar donors and activist networks to build support outside traditional party structures.

Gray’s campaign said viewers gave more than $30,000 after the Piker appearance. He later appeared on The Majority Report , another left-leaning online program, as his campaign sought to translate national attention into turnout in Kansas City.
