纽约，10月30日 —— 11月3日的选举将决定三十六个州长职位的归属，选民最关心的问题包括唐纳德·特朗普总统的不受欢迎程度和生活成本，此外还有从水权、数据中心到癌症发病率等各类地方性议题。
NEW YORK, Oct 30 - Three dozen governors' races will be decided in the November 3 elections, with President Donald Trump's unpopularity and the cost of living at the top of voters' minds, alongside local concerns ranging from water rights and data centers to cancer rates.
部分竞选已演变为恶斗，其中俄亥俄州共和党人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米与民主党人艾米·阿克顿的对决，出现了民主党候选人疏远的母亲在攻击广告中露面的情形。其他竞选可能创造历史，例如佐治亚州民主党人基莎·兰斯·博托姆斯角逐成为美国历史上首位当选州长的黑人女性。
Some races have turned ugly, including an Ohio contest between Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Amy Acton that features the Democrat's estranged mother in an attack ad. Others could be history-making, such as Georgia Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms' bid to become the country's first Black woman elected governor.
民主党目前掌握24个州长席位，共和党掌握26个。如果民主党能实现净增至少两个席位，将自2010年以来首次在多数州掌握州长职位。以下是七场关键州长竞选：亚利桑那州 在这片饱受干旱困扰的土地上，水资源已成为关键竞选议题，民主党籍现任州长凯蒂·霍布斯寻求连任，对手是共和党联邦众议员安迪·比格斯。其他核心议题包括生活成本和移民，霍布斯试图将自己定位为在边境安全问题上比许多全国性民主党人更强硬。
Democrats now hold 24 governorships and Republicans 26. If Democrats can manage a net gain of at least two seats they will lead a majority of states for the first time since 2010. Here are seven key governor races to ARIZONA Water has become a key campaign issue in drought-hit Arizona, where Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs is seeking reelection against Republican US Representative Andy Biggs.
比格斯曾任右翼联邦众议院自由核心小组主席，该小组主张大幅削减联邦开支。
Other top issues are cost of living and immigration, with Hobbs seeking to position herself as tougher on border security than many national Democrats.
堕胎权在竞选中占据显著位置，霍布斯支持堕胎权，而比格斯长期持反对立场。亚利桑那州选民于2024年通过了一项保护堕胎权的宪法修正案。
Biggs is a former head of the right-wing US House Freedom Caucus, which has pushed for deep cuts in federal spending. Abortion rights have featured prominently in the race, with Hobbs a supporter while Biggs has a long record as an opponent.
密歇根州的竞选是最具竞争力的州长角逐之一，对阵双方为民主党人乔斯林·本森（该州首席选举官员）和共和党联邦众议员约翰·詹姆斯。两人竞逐接替因任期限制无法连任的民主党籍州长格雷琴·惠特默，这也是本轮19场无现任者参选的竞选之一。
Arizona voters approved a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights in 2024. 's race is one of the most competitive gubernatorial contests, pitting Democrat Jocelyn Benson, the state's top election official, against Republican US Representative John James.
密歇根州是势均力敌的摇摆州，特朗普在2016年和2024年在此获胜，而民主党人乔·拜登在2020年赢得该州。自1960年代以来，两党均未在该州实现州长职位的连续执政。
The candidates are battling to succeed term-limited Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, making it one of 19 open-seat races this cycle. Michigan is a closely divided swing state that Trump won in 2016 and 2024, while Democrat Joe Biden carried it in 2020.
佐治亚州 亿万富翁医疗高管、共和党人里克·杰克逊正与前亚特兰大市长博特姆斯竞争，角逐接替共和党州长布莱恩·坎普的职位。如果博特姆斯获胜，她将成为美国历史上首位当选州长的黑人女性，也是25多年来首位当选佐治亚州州长的民主党人。
Neither party has elected back-to-back governors in the state since the 1960s. GEORGIA Republican Rick Jackson, a billionaire healthcare executive, is running against Bottoms, the former Atlanta mayor, to succeed Republican Governor Brian Kemp.
由于佐治亚州极有可能成为2028年总统大选的关键摇摆州，两党都将这场州长选举视为选民情绪的早期风向标。
A Bottoms win would make her the first Black woman elected governor in the US and the first Democrat elected governor of Georgia in more than a quarter century.
杰克逊已在竞选中投入超过1亿美元自有资金，总体上与特朗普的议程保持一致；博特姆斯则致力于动员帮助拜登在2020年赢得该州的多元民主党联盟。
Because Georgia will likely be a key presidential battleground in 2028, both parties view the gubernatorial race as an early test of voter sentiment.
2020年，博特姆斯带领佐治亚州最大城市应对抗议骚乱、社会动荡和新冠疫情，从而声名鹊起。她的基本盘位于亚特兰大都会区，该地区的快速增长重塑了佐治亚州的政治版图。
Jackson, who has spent more than $100 million of his own money on the race, has generally aligned himself with Trump's agenda, while Bottoms has sought to mobilize the diverse Democratic coalition that helped Biden win the state in 2020. Bottoms rose to national prominence in 2020 as she guided Georgia's largest city through protests, civil unrest and the COVID pandemic.
俄亥俄州 共和党企业家拉马斯瓦米与民主党人、医生阿克顿的竞争因一则爆炸性攻击广告而引发全国关注，广告中出现了阿克顿疏远的母亲。在拉马斯瓦米竞选团队发布的视频中，唐娜·阿瑟反驳了阿克顿关于童年流离失所和遭受性虐待的说法，并呼吁俄亥俄州选民不要投票给她。
Her base is in the Atlanta metro area, whose rapid growth has reshaped Georgia politics. OHIO The race between Republican entrepreneur Ramaswamy and Democrat Acton, a physician, drew national attention over an explosive attack ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother.
阿克顿曾任俄亥俄州卫生部主管，领导该州应对新冠疫情。她表示曾遭继父性虐待。该继父于2004年去世，在被控强奸继女后潜逃他州，从未受审。
In a video run by the Ramaswamy campaign, Donna Arthur disputes Acton's account of a childhood marked by homelessness and sexual abuse and urges Ohioans not to vote for her. Acton, a former director of the Ohio Department of Health who led the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has said she was sexually abused by her stepfather. The stepfather, who died in 2004, fled the state after he was charged with raping his stepdaughter and never stood trial.
自2016年以来，随着特朗普凭借工薪阶层选民的强力支持赢得该州，并帮助其转变为可靠的共和党州，俄亥俄州作为长期摇摆州的声誉已不复存在。这场竞选被视为检验民主党能否将经济不满转化为选票的试金石。民主党在该州最近九次州长选举中仅赢过一次。
The state's reputation as a perennial swing state faded after 2016 when Trump won it with strong support from working-class voters, who helped to turn it into a reliably Republican state. The race is being watched as a test of whether Democrats can turn economic dissatisfaction into votes. Democrats have won just one of the state’s last nine gubernatorial elections.
爱荷华州正在举行自2006年以来的首场公开州长竞选，此前共和党籍州长金·雷诺兹宣布不寻求连任。作为目前爱荷华州唯一担任全州性民选职务的民主党人，州审计长罗布·桑德将面对共和党商人扎克·拉恩。
is holding its first open governor's race since 2006, after Republican Governor Kim Reynolds said she would not seek reelection. State Auditor Rob Sand, the only Iowa Democrat currently holding statewide elected office, faces Republican businessman Zach Lahn.
爱荷华州的癌症发病率在全美排名第二，仅次于肯塔基州，这已成为竞选中的主要议题，与生活成本等“餐桌议题”并列。人们担心接触硝酸盐、农药和其他环境污染物可能是导致高癌症发病率的原因，这推高了公众对该议题的关注度。
The state's incidence of cancer, at the second-highest rate in the country behind Kentucky, has emerged as a major campaign topic alongside kitchen-table issues such as the cost of living. Interest has been fueled by worries that exposure to nitrates, pesticides and other environmental contaminants may be contributing to the high cancer rate.
竞选也聚焦于教育和政府问责。桑德以独立监督者的姿态参选，批评共和党的财政管理和该州的私立学校券计划。
The race has also focused on education and government accountability. Sand has campaigned as an independent watchdog critical of Republican fiscal management and the state's private-school voucher program.
拉恩则主张减税、学校选择权，并在社会议题上采取更保守的立场。
Lahn has embraced lower taxes, school choice and a more conservative approach to social issues.
内华达州 在这场以负担能力为核心的竞选中，共和党籍州长乔·隆巴多与民主党挑战者、州检察长亚伦·福特陷入胶着。
NEVADA In a contest centered on affordability, Republican Governor Joe Lombardo is in a neck-and-neck race with Democratic challenger Aaron Ford, the state’s attorney general.
内华达州居民对关税、旅游业放缓和高油价表达了担忧，这给了福特击败隆巴多的机会，尽管现任州长拥有2比1的筹款优势。
Nevada residents have voiced concerns over tariffs, a tourism slowdown and high gas prices, giving Ford an opening to defeat Lombardo despite the incumbent's 2-1 fundraising advantage.
数据中心也已成为核心竞选议题。福特提议暂停新数据中心的税收减免，并要求开发商保护居民免受更高能源成本的影响。他还呼吁出台强有力的法规，保护就业岗位免受人工智能冲击。
Data centers have also emerged as a central campaign issue. Ford has proposed a halt to new data-center tax abatements and wants to require that developers shield residents from higher energy costs. He has also called for strong regulations to protect jobs from AI.
隆巴多虽然对吸引该行业入驻该州的部分税收激励措施实施了新限制，但总体上仍将数据中心视为经济驱动力并予以大力支持。
Lombardo, while imposing new restrictions on some of the tax incentives that lured the industry to the state, has generally championed data centers as an economic driver.
威斯康星州——威斯康星州州长竞选的一个核心问题是，那些在2024年支持特朗普、在2020年支持拜登的选民，是否希望有一位与共和党总统立场一致的州长。获得特朗普背书的共和党人、三届美国众议员汤姆·蒂法尼淡化了这种关联。他的民主党对手、密尔沃基县行政长官戴维·克劳利则试图将蒂法尼与特朗普的议程联系在一起。
WISCONSIN A central question in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial race is whether voters, who backed Trump in 2024 and Biden in 2020, want a governor aligned with the Republican president. Republican Tom Tiffany, a three-term US Representative endorsed by Trump, has played down that connection. His Democratic opponent, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, has sought to link Tiffany to Trump's agenda.
在国会，蒂法尼支持持枪权和减税等保守派主张，并共同提出了联邦立法，该立法原本将在怀孕约六周后禁止大多数堕胎。克劳利支持堕胎权，并将生殖权利列为竞选的关键议题。威斯康星州禁止怀孕20周后堕胎，并要求24小时等待期以及未成年人须获父母同意。
In Congress, Tiffany has supported conservative causes such as gun rights and lower taxes, and co-sponsored federal legislation that would have banned most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. Crowley supports abortion rights and has framed reproductive rights as a key campaign issue. Wisconsin bans abortion after 20 weeks and requires a 24-hour waiting period as well as parental consent for minors.
