对于国会共和党候选人丹·格林而言，与伊朗的军事对峙并非新战争的开端——而是对1979年就已爆发的冲突的早该到来的了结。
这位在佛罗里达第九国会选区参选的海军退伍军人曾在伊拉克服役，他认为美国终于要解决与德黑兰长达数十年的对抗，尽管他在国内面临着通胀、民生经济以及在重新划定后的奥兰多郊区选区中，要击败连任十年的民主党现任议员的艰难挑战。
“我认为大家需要认清的一点是，伊朗从上世纪70年代起就一直在与我们为敌，当时他们占领了我们在德黑兰的大使馆，扣押了我们的美国人质。所以在我看来，这是为了结束一场持久战，而非发动新战争。
“无论是80年代伊朗轰炸海军陆战队兵营，还是沙特阿拉伯的库尔巴尔塔兵营爆炸案，再加上我在伊拉克的服役经历，伊朗都在杀害大量我们的士兵、水手、空军和海军陆战队队员。

“所以问题在于，你愿意承受多少美国士兵阵亡的代价？而且我们还知道，他们曾密谋刺杀我们的总统。
“因此，在我看来，这场对峙早就该有个结果了，但我认为我们真正需要关注的是，如何成功终结这场冲突，让中东恢复稳定。”
格林参选的选区在2024年总统大选中曾以较大优势支持唐纳德·特朗普，但由于通胀和能源价格仍是选民持续关注的焦点，共和党面临着不利局面。不过，相较于民主党候选人，他仍对共和党品牌的吸引力充满信心。
“我认为民主党现在面临一个巨大的问题。我觉得他们根本不清楚自己到底代表什么，”格林说，“正如大家所知，他们党内的民主社会主义派别的势力正在崛起，许多温和派议员发现他们必须向这一派别妥协，哪怕是自由派议员也不例外。”
他继续说道：“现在全国有很多议员都是靠着民主社会主义者的身份当选的，他们信奉这种激进意识形态，坦率地说，他们在很多方面想要摧毁我们的宪法：他们想要废除美国参议院，想要推行觉醒意识形态、跨性别意识形态，还想要提高税收。所以在某些方面，我们清楚他们会带来什么，但那绝不会是美好的未来。”

与该州大部分地区一样，佛罗里达州第九选区拥有庞大的拉丁裔人口，这一群体在推动佛罗里达从摇摆州转向红州的过程中发挥了关键作用。格林认为，尽管共和党必须在民生经济议题上争取选民，但归根结底，他们需要成为维护法治的政党。
“我认为各种背景的美国人，无论种族族裔如何，如今都在担忧生活成本。我们的竞选纲领是让美国重新变得负担得起，”格林说，“所以食品价格、汽油价格、财产保险费率这类民生议题，我认为无论选民背景如何，都会引起共鸣。
“但我们共和国的基石是法治，要确保我们恪守并遵循法律。我们可以在落实法律的过程中兼顾同情心，也可以找到更有效地执行法律的方法。归根结底，我们要么是一个法治国家，要么就不是。所以我们需要采取必要措施确保法律得到执行。”
从奥兰多向南延伸的第九选区有着明显的保守派倾向，格林认为这将帮助他抗衡现任议员的优势。

“我的对手是现任议员，有时候这会带来一些优势：知名度更高，能获得更多资源，”格林说，“但我认为这个选区本质上是一个保守派选区，我认为哪怕是无党派人士，不管他们是民主党还是共和党，往往也倾向于保守立场。
“所以我认为我们在这个选区的竞选活动拥有很多优势。我有从军经历，能够制定计划，我们正在执行一项出色的竞选计划，夺回这个席位，将其从蓝色变成红色。”
最后，格林表示，他认为索托在经济政策上的投票将是他向第九选区选民塑造差异化形象的关键。
“嗯，他是从我们选区的一部分区域当选连任的，而非整个选区。大部分选区的选民从未投票给他，也几乎没见过他，”格林说，“在我看来，十年来他从未解决过我们选区的问题。
“他投票反对取消社会保障税，反对取消加班费税，反对取消小费税。在我看来，当现在面临可负担性问题时，这些投票对本选区来说是错误的。他的价值观也与本选区选民不符。
“大家都知道，他投票反对禁止跨性别医疗护理。而且十年来他也没有采取任何措施阻止议员内幕交易……坦率地说，民主社会主义者正在接管民主党。你知道，投他的票就是投给他们，而我认为这不是本选区选民想要的。”

Florida GOP hopeful on backing Trump in Iran: ‘This is about ending a long war, not starting a war’

For GOP congressional candidate Dan Green, the military confrontation with Iran isn’t the start of a new war — it’s the long-overdue resolution of a conflict that began in 1979.
Drawing on his own military tours in Iraq, the Navy veteran running in Florida’s 9th Congressional District argues that America is finally settling decades-long strife with Tehran, even as he faces a tough domestic battle over inflation, kitchen-table economics, and a 10-year Democrat incumbent in the newly redrawn Orlando-based suburban district.
“I think one thing to know about Iran is that they’ve been at war with us since the 1970s, when they seized our embassy in Tehran and they took our Americans hostage. So to me, this is about ending a long war, not starting a war.
“Whether it’s the Marine Corps barracks in the 80s when Iran bombed those, the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and also with my tours in Iraq, the Iranians were killing a lot of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines.

“So, the question is, what’s the butcher’s bill you’re willing to tolerate of dead Americans? And we also know they plotted to kill and assassinate our president.
So, to me, this has been a long time coming, but I think what we really need to focus on is how do we get a successful termination of this conflict and stability back in the Middle East?”
Green is running in a district that voted for President Donald Trump by a large margin in 2024, yet the Republicans face headwinds as inflation and energy prices remain a persistent preoccupation for voters. Yet, he remains confident in the appeal of the GOP brand, compared to the Democratic alternative.
“I think the Democrats have a huge problem right now. I don’t think they know what they’re really about,” Green said. “As you know, they have a democratic socialist wing that is rising in power throughout their party, and a lot of moderate members are finding they have to make peace with that, or even liberal members as well.”
He continued: “We’ve got a lot of members getting elected now across the country who are democratic socialists who believe in this radical ideology, who want to frankly destroy our Constitution in so many ways: they want to abolish the U.S. Senate, they want to bring back woke ideology, transgender ideology, and higher taxes. So I think in some ways we know what they are going to bring, but it’s not a good future.”

Florida’s ninth district, like much of the state, contains a large Latino population, which has been pivotal in shifting the state from purple to red. Green argues that while Republicans must appeal to voters on kitchen table economics, ultimately they need to be the party that upholds the rule of law.
“I think Americans of all backgrounds, regardless of race or ethnicity, are concerned about the cost of living these days. What we’ve been campaigning on is making America affordable again,” Green said. “So these kind of kitchen table issues of grocery prices, gas prices, property insurance rates — they resonate irrespective of background, I would say.
“But the cornerstone of our republic is the rule of law, making sure we adhere to it and we follow it. There are ways of being compassionate with how we do that. There are ways of implementing that law more effectively. At the end of the day, we’re either a nation of laws or we aren’t. And so we need to do what’s required to make sure the law is enforced.”
The ninth district, which stretches from Orlando to the south, has a distinctly conservative bent, which Green argues will enable to him to compete against the advantages of incumbency.

“My opponent is an incumbent and sometimes with that come some advantages; name ID, access to greater resources,” Green said. “But I think the district fundamentally is a conservative district and I think even non-party-affiliated members who aren’t Democrat or Republican tend to be conservative.
“So I think we have a lot of great strength in this district for our campaign. I have worked in the military, I can put a plan together, and we’re executing a good campaign plan to take the seat back and flip it from blue to red.”
Finally, Green said he believes Soto’s votes on economic policies will be key to building a contrasting vision for the voters of the ninth district.
“Well, he’s been reelected from a portion of our district, not the rest of the district. Most of the district has never voted for him or really seen him,” Green said. “To me, you’ve got a decade of not solving our district’s problems.
“He has voted against eliminating taxes on Social Security. He’s voted against eliminating taxes on overtime. He’s voted against eliminating tax on tips. To me, when you have the sort of affordability issue right now, those are not the right votes to take for this district. His values are also not aligned with our voters, as well.
“You know, he voted to not prohibit transgender care. He’s also not done anything to stop insider trading for 10 years … and also, frankly, the democratic socialists are taking over the Democratic Party. You know, a vote for him is a vote for them, and I think that’s not what this district wants.”
