密歇根州沃伦——刚赢得共和党初选的资深气象学家、国会候选人特丽·德波尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她准备将该州第三国会选区重新夺回交给共和党。
“我们反复听到的一件事是，民众已经准备好做出改变，”德波尔在谈及她挑战现任民主党众议员希拉里·斯科尔滕的竞选时说道。“他们准备好选出一位和他们拥有同样符合西密歇根州常识的价值观的代表，而我是最合适的人选。”
现年61岁的德波尔是三个孩子的母亲，她在30年的职业生涯中曾为密歇根州西部的多家电视台工作，她希望撼动这个在斯科尔滕2022年拿下之前由共和党把持数十年的选区。

德波尔表示，民主党已经迷失方向，正与那些破坏“让美国如此伟大的特质”的候选人站在一起。
当被问及阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德的参议院初选胜利是否预示着民主党内部对进步议程的支持日益高涨时，德波尔给出了反驳。
“我挨家挨户敲门走访、走在街道上、在杂货店时，人们都会说：‘谢谢你，谢谢你愿意以符合常识的方式站出来代表我们的价值观，因为很简单，另一方已经不再代表西密歇根州的价值观了，’”她说道。
埃尔赛义德是一名极左翼进步人士，上周在全美关注度最高的民主党初选之一中以微弱优势击败了密歇根州民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯。
“我相信，当人们真正理解当前的利害关系——也就是美国的未来和我们所享有的自由时，选择会非常明确，”她说。

德波尔补充称，斯科尔滕在竞选活动中塑造的“温和派”形象与她在国会的投票记录脱节。
“我认为，最鲜明的对比点在于，过去几轮竞选周期中，她都表现得像个非常温和的人，但她在国会的投票记录却与此形成鲜明对比，”她说。
据德波尔称，斯科尔滕投票反对《拯救美国法案》，以及支持“男孩进入女子更衣室、男孩参与女子体育项目”就是这种反差的例子。根据美国众议院投票记录，斯科尔滕在2025年1月投票反对一项禁止跨性别女性和女孩参加女子校队体育赛事的法案。
但此前曾告诉福克斯新闻数字频道自己在这场竞选中属于“局外人”的德波尔表示，她的立场更贴合选民的意愿，如果当选，她将为华盛顿带来“符合常识的价值观”。
谈到推动此次竞选的核心议题，德波尔表示，随着食品、能源、住房和医疗成本上涨，经济负担能力是最紧迫的担忧。她的竞选网站还将保障边境安全、扩大医疗选择、支持可靠能源以及减少对小企业的监管列为其优先事项。
“民众比以往任何时候都更努力地工作，却感觉自己正在被远远甩在后面，”她说。

为应对高成本问题，德波尔呼吁削减“鲁莽的”联邦开支，并消除“掠夺我们所有人享有的美国经济自由的”政府浪费、欺诈和滥用行为。
“我们真的需要让美国重新变得负担得起，”她说。

WARREN, MIch. – Fresh off her Republican primary win, veteran meteorologist and Congressional candidate Terri DeBoer told Fox News Digital she is ready to flip the state’s Third Congressional District back over to the GOP.
“The one thing that we’re really hearing over and over again is people are ready for a change,” DeBoer said of her bid to unseat incumbent Dem. Rep. Hillary Scholten. “They are ready to be represented by someone who shares the same common sense West Michigan values as they do, and I’m the best candidate to fill the bill.”
DeBoer, a 61-year-old mother of three who worked for several television stations in western Michigan over a 30-year career, is looking to shake up a district that was held by Republicans for decades before Scholten seized it in 2022.

DeBoer said the Democratic Party has lost its way and is aligning with candidates who undermine what “makes America so great.”
Looking beyond her own race, DeBoer pushed back when asked whether Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate primary victory signals growing support for a progressive agenda within the Democratic Party.
“What I hear when I knock on doors, when I walk down the street, when I’m at the grocery store, people say, ‘Thank you. Thank you for being willing to step forward in a common sense way to represent our values, because quite simply, the other side is no longer representing the values of West Michigan,’” she said.
El-Sayed, a far-left progressive, narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., in one of the nation’s most closely watched Democratic primaries last week.
“I believe that when people truly understand what is at stake here, the very future of America and the freedoms that we have enjoyed, that I think the choice is very clear,” she said.

DeBoer added there is a disconnect between Scholten’s “moderate” image on the campaign trail and her voting record in Congress.
“I believe the biggest point of contrast, quite frankly, is that for the last few campaign cycles she has campaigned as though she’s a very moderate individual, and yet her voting record in Congress is in stark contrast to that,” she said.
Scholten’s vote against the SAVE America Act and her support for “boys in girls’ locker rooms, boys in our girls’ sports” are examples of this contrast, according to DeBoer. Scholten voted against a bill that would ban transgender women and girls from competing on female school sports teams in January 2025, according to U.S. House voting records,
But DeBoer, who previously told Fox News Digital she considers herself an outsider in this race, said her positions are more closely aligned with voters and that she would bring “common-sense values” to Washington if elected.
Turning to the issues driving the race, DeBoer said affordability is the most pressing concern as the costs of groceries, energy, housing and healthcare rise. Her campaign website also lists securing the border, expanding healthcare choice, supporting reliable energy and reducing regulations on small businesses among her priorities.
“People are working harder than ever before and feeling like they’re falling behind everything,” she said.

To address the higher costs, DeBoer called for cutting “reckless” federal spending and eliminating government waste, fraud and abuse “that robs all of us of the economic freedom that we have in America.”
“We really need to make America affordable again,” she said.
