知名华裔律师李中原竞选德州众议员    守护美国的价值    维护选民的权益


【美南新闻泉深】休斯顿知名华裔律师李中原 (Daniel Lee)作为德克萨斯州第26选区(District 26) 的民主党候选人参加2022 年德克萨斯州众议员(Texas House of Representatives) 的选举,他要站出来守护美国价值,维护选民的权益。他于1月27日在Braman Winery & Brewery面对选民发表了首次竞选演讲。



以下是候选人李中原的演讲内容:

我很荣幸今天能站在您们面前,很高兴您们都在这里支持我作为德克萨斯州代表 HD 26 选区的候选人竞选。我不仅仅是代表我个人竞选,而是为您们每个人参加竞选,我希望能和您们一起竞选。

作为一名资深律师,我发誓我会知道并使用法律来保护不仅在休斯顿地区而且在全州范围内的家庭和德克萨斯人。我是全面了解该法律并且知道坏的法律如何伤害和影响好人的唯一候选人。

在我开始演讲之前,我想让您们知道我的演讲受到了我们的前总统奥巴马的启发。

我父亲是德克萨斯州的一家餐馆老板,只受过六年级教育。我母亲是圣母大学的一名大学篮球运动员,后来去纽约大学攻读会计硕士学位。正是由于他们令人印象深刻的故事和对美国梦的不懈追求,我今天来到您们面前。

我的背景是休斯顿地区许多伟大的德克萨斯人和伟大的人物中伟大的故事的一部分。

我完全意识到,我家人之前移民到德克萨斯州,我出生在德克萨斯州,除了德克萨斯和休斯顿这个地区之外,地球上没有任何地方是我的故乡。

除了目前枪支暴力、教师短缺、气候变化,甚至财产税的增加外,我真的相信我们都像德克萨斯州一样联系在一起。如果我们的学校缺少对我来说很重要的老师,如果有家庭因枪支暴力而遭受痛苦,我也为那个家庭感到悲痛,因为这是我的社区。如果这里的许多人缺乏健康保险,如果这里有人因为我们而努力支付医疗费用,我与他们斗争,因为我们整个社会都很穷。我相信我们要么站在一起,否则我们要作为德州人一起跌倒。

现在在我们的城市、州和世界上有太多的分歧,那些想要打破我们所有人并让我们相信我们彼此不同的人,我要和他们战斗,因为当我们完全平等。我们共同住在美利坚合众国,确实没有保守的美国,我们需要自由的美国,白人、黑人、亚洲人和拉丁美洲人一律平等。

在您们的帮助下,我们将能够翻转德州的众议员席位,并将其由红色变成蓝色,而我是最好的人选。事情需要改变,反对我的人一直是同一个教育机构的一部分,几十年来他们辜负了我们的孩子,并取消了保护我们家庭的法律。

我们是要参与分裂和借口的政治,还是要参与希望和承诺的政治,这就是这次选举的意义所在。这是我们逃离饱受战争蹂躏的国家的新移民的希望,也希望一个普通人有朝一日能成为州议员。我们承诺在冬季风暴期间所有家庭都将有能源;承诺我们的家庭和孩子将免受下一次洪水的侵袭;希望企业主免受枪支暴力侵害,同时继续赚钱;承诺每个学生都将获得学校资源以帮助他们成长,并且每个老师都将获得成功的课程和报酬。面对不确定性和困难的希望,如果您们和我站在一起,我们可以一起打破这些分裂的链条,为我们的社区赢得更美好的日子,一次制定一项法律,而不是伤害的坏法律,让我们通过一些好的法律来帮助好人。

李中原(Daniel Lee)



候选人李中原演讲的英文原文:

It is an honor to be in front of your today and I’m overcome with joy that you are all here to support my campaign for Texas State Representative for HD 26. I say our because I’m running not only for everyone of you, but I hope torun with you. As a lawyer I swore to that I would know and use the law to protect families and Texans not only in the Houston area, but all over the state. I’m the only candidate that knows that law and knows the end affect of how bad laws hurts good people. 

Before I begin, I want you to know that my speech was inspired by our former President Obama.

My Father was a restaurant owner in Texas, with only a 6th grade education. My mother was a college basketball player at notredame and went to NYU for her accounting Masters. It’s due to their impressive story and relentless pursuit of the American dream that I am here today in front of you.

My background is part of a greater story of many great Texans and great people in the Houston area.

I’m fully aware that without the people that came before myself and my family that in no place on earth other than Texas and this area is my story possible. 

Alongside all the current increase in gun violence, Gerrymandering, Teacher shortage, climate change, and even rise in property taxes, I truly believe we are all connected as 1 Texas. If there are schools in our who lack teachers that matters to me, If there are families that are suffering from results of gun violence I too grieve with that family since this is my community, If there are people here struggling to pay medical bills because we lack heath insurance coverage for many people here, I struggle with them because we are ALL poor as a society. I believe that we either Stand together or we FALL together as Texans.

There is so much division right now in our city, state and world. Those that want to break all of us up and convince us that we are different from each other, when we are EXACTLY the same. There is truly no Conservative America, Liberal America, white, black, Asian or Latino America. We live in the United States of America.

We will be able to flip this seat and turn it blue with your help and I am the best candidate to do it. Things need to change and the people against me have been part of the same structure of educators that have failed our child for decades as well as lifted the laws that protected our families. 
In the end that is what this election is about. Do we participate and work in the politics of division and excuses or do we participate in the politics of Hope and promise. The Hope of immigrants escaping from war torn countries. The Hope that a short kid will one day become a State Representative. The promise that all homes will have energy during winter storms, the promise that our homes and children will be protected from the next flood. The hope that a business owner will be safe from gun violence and at the same time continue to make money. The Promise that each student will the resources in school to help them grow and that each teacher will be given the curriculum and pay to be successful. The Hope in the face of uncertainty and difficulty If you stand with me, together we can break these chains of division and win brighter days for our community and State one law at a time. Instead of Bad laws that hurt Let’s pass some GOOD laws to help Good people. Daniel Lee
