(뉴욕=연합뉴스) 김연숙 특파원 = 3일(현지시간) 미국 중간선거에서 오하이오 주지사에 도전한 한국계 신디 먼슨 민주당 후보가 패배했다.

AP통신에 따르면 개표율 97%를 기록 중인 상황에서 공화당의 마이크 마제이 후보가 51.98%를 득표해, 45.87%를 얻은 먼슨 후보를 제치고 당선을 확정 지었다.

먼슨 후보는 전통적으로 공화당 우세 지역인 오클라호마주에서 미국 역사상 첫 한국계 주지사 탄생에 도전했으나, 보수 우위 지형이라는 한계를 넘지 못했다.

한국인 어머니와 미군 아버지 사이에 태어난 먼슨 후보는 오클라호마주 최초의 아시아계 여성 주의원으로, 주 하원 민주당 원내대표 자리까지 오르며 정치적 입지를 다져왔다.
