前民主党州议员迈克·卡茨周二在特拉华州共和党参议员初选中胜出，该州共和党推举的候选人将在11月的选举中对阵民主党提名的候选人，而共和党已有三十多年未能拿下该州的参议院席位。
卡茨在两党制共和党初选中击败了退役陆军上校约翰·舒利，将在11月3日的大选中对阵连任三届的民主党参议员克里斯·库恩斯。
卡茨是一名儿科麻醉师兼企业主，曾以民主党身份在特拉华州参议院任职，2008年当选该州参议员，代表特拉华州第四参议院选区，直至2012年连任竞选失利。

这位麻醉师在其政治生涯中曾跨越党派界限。卡茨2024年以独立党候选人身份竞选美国参议员，最终以约4%的得票率位列第三，落后于民主党候选人丽莎·布朗特·罗切斯特和共和党候选人埃里克·汉森。
根据联邦选举委员会的记录，他后来以共和党身份注册了2026年的参议院竞选。

卡茨在周二的竞选中是特拉华州共和党官方背书的候选人。根据其竞选网站信息，他的竞选纲领聚焦于降低生活成本、改革医疗保健、保护特拉华州的就业岗位以及削减联邦开支。

卡茨将其转向共和党一事描述为与长期秉持的信念一致，而非政治观点的转变。他告诉福克斯29频道，重新注册为共和党人“并非原则上的改变”，而是与他数十年来一直坚持的原则相契合。
“我们的竞选活动正在组建一个联盟，由共和党人、无党派人士和民主党选民组成，赢得11月的选举，击败克里斯·库恩斯，”卡茨在周二初选前的一则广告中对支持者说道。

卡茨将试图打破共和党在特拉华州参议院选举中长达数十年的连败纪录。自共和党参议员威廉·罗斯1994年成功连任以来，共和党再也没有在该州赢得过联邦参议院选举。

Former Democratic state lawmaker Mike Katz won Delaware’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday, sending the state’s GOP-backed candidate into a November fight against the Democratic nominee for a seat Republicans have not won in more than three decades.
Katz defeated retired Army colonel John Shulli in the two-way Republican primary and will face three-term Democratic Sen. Chris Coons in the Nov. 3 general election.
Katz, a pediatric anesthesiologist and business owner, previously served in the Delaware state Senate as a Democrat after winning election to the chamber in 2008. He represented the state’s 4th Senate District until losing his re-election bid in 2012.

The anesthesiologist has crossed party lines during his political career. Katz ran for U.S. Senate in 2024 as the Independent Party candidate, finishing third behind Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester and Republican Eric Hansen with about 4% of the vote.
He later registered his 2026 Senate candidacy as a Republican, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Katz entered Tuesday’s contest as the Delaware Republican Party’s endorsed candidate. His campaign has focused on lowering the cost of living, reforming health care, protecting jobs in Delaware, and reducing federal spending, according to his campaign website.

Katz characterized his move to the Republican Party as an alignment with long-held beliefs rather than a shift in his political views, telling FOX 29 that re-registering as a Republican “was not a change in principle” but an alignment with principles he had held for decades.
“Our campaign is building a coalition. A coalition of Republicans, Independents and Democratic voters to win this race in November to defeat Chris Coons,” Katz told supporters in an ad ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

Katz will attempt to snap a decades-long losing streak for the party in Delaware Senate races. The GOP has not won a U.S. Senate election in the state since Republican Sen. William Roth won re-election in 1994.
