科罗拉多州选民将于周二选出下一任州长,连任两届的现任州长贾里德·波利斯(民主党)因任期限制无法寻求第三个连续任期。民主党提名人是州检察长菲尔·韦泽,他在7月初选中以约14个百分点的优势击败了三届联邦参议员迈克尔·贝内特(民主党-科罗拉多州),结果颇具意外。韦泽曾任科罗拉多大学法学院院长,在竞选中定位为更进步的选择。
Coloradans will choose their next governor Tuesday, with two-term incumbent Jared Polis (D) ineligible to seek a third consecutive term. The Democratic nominee is state Attorney General Phil Weiser, who somewhat surprisingly beat three-term Sen. Michael Bennet (D) in the July primary. Weiser, who previously was dean of the University of Colorado Law School, ran as the more progressive option in the race, defeating Bennet by about 14 points.
科罗拉多州共和党人则提名了维克多·马克思,他是一名牧师兼作家,有过争议性言论的历史,在7月初选中以约半个百分点的微弱优势击败了州参议员芭芭拉·柯克迈耶(共和党)和州众议员斯科特·博托姆斯。投票将于美国东部时间晚上9点截止。
Colorado Republicans chose Victor Marx, a minister and author with a history of controversial comments, over state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer (R) and state Rep. Scott Bottoms. Marx narrowly beat out Kirkmeyer by about half a point in the July primary. Polls close at 9 p.m. EST.
