今年的旧金山市长选举中,华裔选民成为了关键目标。由于华裔在美国人口中所占比例相对较低,他们往往被竞选活动忽视。但在华裔占总人口五分之一以上的旧金山,市长候选人认为华裔选民可以左右11月的选举结果。今年,由于没有重要的华裔竞争者,以及亚裔选民对学校管理和城市犯罪问题的不满情绪仍然居高不下,华裔选民更成为了可以争取的群体。候选人纷纷通过中文社交媒体平台接触选民,并招募华裔活动人士,甚至为选票和竞选标誌上的中文名字争论不休。
Original Title: 舊金山市長選舉:「拉攏」華裔選民成關鍵
Summary: In this year’s San Francisco mayoral election, Chinese-American voters have become a key target. Chinese Americans, often overlooked in elections due to their relatively low national proportion, are a significant force in San Francisco, where they make up 20% of the population. Mayoral candidates are vying for their support, recognizing their potential to influence the November election. This year, the absence of prominent Chinese-American candidates and ongoing dissatisfaction among Asian Americans regarding school management and crime are making Chinese Americans particularly sought-after. Candidates are reaching out to Chinese voters via Chinese social media platforms, recruiting Chinese-American activists, and even debating how to present their names in Chinese on ballots and campaign signs.
