康涅狄格州选民将于周二选出未来两年的联邦众议员。该州共有五个国会选区,目前均由民主党人担任。
Connecticut voters on Tuesday will pick their U.S. representatives for the next two years. The Constitution State has five congressional districts, all of which are currently represented by Democrats.
民主党籍众议员乔·科特尼、罗莎·德劳罗、吉姆·海姆斯和贾哈娜·海耶斯均在寻求连任。
Democratic Reps. Joe Courtney, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes and Jahana Hayes are all running for reelection this year.
本轮选举中,康涅狄格州唯一的空缺席位是第1国会选区,此前连任14届的众议员约翰·拉森在初选中败给了哈特福德前市长卢克·布罗宁(民主党),后者获得州党背书,主张华盛顿需要新面孔,这一信息引起了不满民主党选民的共鸣。
The only open seat in Connecticut this cycle is the 1st Congressional District, after 14-term Rep. John Larson was defeated in a primary by former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin (D), who was backed by the state party and ran on a need for fresh faces in Washington, a message that resonated with discontent Democrats.
布罗宁将在大选中面对共和党候选人、医生艾米·查伊,但该选区倾向民主党极重,拉森上一次以近30个百分点的优势获胜。投票将于美国东部时间晚上8点截止。
Bronin faces Republican Amy Chai, a doctor, in the general election, but the seat is heavily Democratic, with Larson winning by nearly 30 points last time. Polls close at 8 p.m. EST.
