康涅狄格州选民将于周二决定未来四年的州长人选。两届现任州长内德·拉蒙特(民主党)正在寻求第三个连续任期。该州是全美13个没有任何形式任期限制的州之一。
Connecticut voters on Tuesday will decide their governor for the next four years. Two-term incumbent Gov. Ned Lamont (D) is seeking a third consecutive term. The Constitution State is one of 13 states without any form of term limits.
康涅狄格州历史上唯一一位赢得第三任期的州长是约翰·G·罗兰,他在2002年连任,但拉蒙特希望成为首位完成三个完整任期的州长,因为罗兰因弹劾调查被迫于2004年辞职。
The only other Connecticut governor to win a third term was John G. Rowland in 2002, but Lamont is hoping to be the first to serve three full terms, as Rowland was forced to resign in 2004 amid an impeachment investigation.
拉蒙特在8月的初选中以约30个百分点的优势击败了州众议员乔什·埃利奥特(民主党)的挑战。拉蒙特的共和党对手是州参议员瑞安·法齐奥,一名财务顾问。
Lamont defeated a challenge from state Rep. Josh Elliott (D) by about 30 points in the August primary. Lamont's Republican opponent is state Sen. Ryan Fazio, a financial adviser.
法齐奥在5月的州党代表大会上获得92%的压倒性选票,赢得了共和党提名。在一贯倾向民主党的“蓝州”,拉蒙特被视为大热门。投票将于美国东部时间晚上8点截止。
Fazio won the GOP nomination in May after receiving a commanding 92 percent of the vote at a state party convention. Lamont is seen as the heavy favorite in the reliably blue state. Polls close at 8 p.m. EST.
