English to Spanish: Uphill battle is OK with Dallas mayoral candidate Marcos Ronquillo General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English Marcos Ronquillo knows that his run for mayor perplexes many people in Dallas.
They wonder why a smart guy, an attorney with political savvy and wide-ranging local ties, would take on Mike Rawlings, a popular, well-heeled incumbent expected to cruise to re-election on May 9.
To Ronquillo, win or lose, what matters is giving Dallas voters “a clear choice of competing visions.”
“The important thing is community engagement,” he said. “It’s very important that we have these debates. It’s very important that we talk about the [Trinity] toll road, very important that we talk about schools, about losing jobs from Dallas, losing population.”
The 61-year-old Lake Highlands attorney is trying to build his mayoral campaign on his opposition to a proposed toll road in the Trinity River corridor, a costly and polarizing project that Rawlings supports.
But beyond his concerns about the road itself, Ronquillo sees the Trinity issue as embodying his underlying philosophy: City Hall, he says, should step back from big regional projects to focus more on what’s happening at the neighborhood level.
That contrasts somewhat with Rawlings’ big-vision approach. Ronquillo is more likely to talk about sidewalks than bullet trains.
In speech after speech, Rawlings extols the wisdom of approaching issues from a regional perspective. Ronquillo worries that regionalism will reduce Dallas to “a glorified bus stop on the way to the suburbs.”
Rawlings, in a campaign statement, called Ronquillo “a good person.” But he rejected his challenger’s notion of competing visions.
“We don’t have to choose between thinking big or thinking small,” the mayor said. “We should be doing both.”
Whether or not Rawlings engages with him, Ronquillo says, he intends to keep talking.
But so far, his campaign has been quiet, scarcely visible.
Translation - Spanish Marcos Ronquillo sabe que su campaña para alcalde deja perplejo a muchas personas en Dallas.
Se preguntan por qué un hombre inteligente, un abogado con astucia política y amplios lazos locales, se enfrentaría a Mike Rawlings, un titular popular y adinerado, del cual se espera que logre la reelección el 9 de mayo.
Para Ronquillo, gane o pierda, lo que importa es dar a los votantes de Dallas “una opción clara de las visiones de la competencia”.
“Lo importante es el compromiso de la comunidad”, dijo. “Es muy importante que tengamos estos debates. Es muy importante que hablemos sobre la autopista de peaje [Trinity], muy importante que hablemos de las escuelas, de la pérdida de puestos de trabajo de Dallas, de la pérdida de la población”.
El abogado de 61 años de Lake Highlands está tratando de construir su campaña a la alcaldía en su oposición a una carretera de peaje propuesta en el corredor del Río Trinidad, un proyecto costoso y polarizante apoyado por Rawlings.
Pero más allá de sus inquietudes acerca de la propia carretera, Ronquillo ve el tema Trinidad como la encarnación de su filosofía subyacente: el ayuntamiento, señala, debe alejarse de los grandes proyectos regionales para centrarse más en lo que está sucediendo a nivel del vecindario.
Eso contrasta un poco con enfoque de gran visión de Rawlings. Es más probable que Ronquillo hable de las aceras que de los trenes bala.
En un discurso tras otro, Rawlings exalta la sabiduría de abordar los problemas desde una perspectiva regional. A Ronquillo le preocupa que el regionalismo reduzca Dallas a “una parada de autobús glorificada en el camino hacia los suburbios”.
Rawlings, en una declaración de su campaña, llamó a Ronquillo “una buena persona”. Pero rechazó la noción de su rival sobre visiones opuestas.
“No tenemos que elegir entre pensar a lo grande o pensar en pequeño”, dijo el alcalde. “Deberíamos estar haciendo ambas cosas”.
Ya sea que Rawlings se relacione con él o no, Ronquillo dice, tiene la intención de seguir hablando.
Pero hasta ahora, su campaña ha sido tranquila, apenas visible.
