肯塔基州选民将于周二选出未来两年的联邦众议员。这个蓝草州的六个国会选区目前由五名共和党人和一名民主党人把持。尽管这是一个稳固的红州,但由于民主党籍州长安迪·贝希尔的存在,肯塔基州共和党人未能在本轮重新划分选区地图,以挤掉路易斯维尔为基础的第3选区唯一的民主党人、众议员摩根·麦加维。
Kentuckians on Tuesday will elect their U.S. representatives for the next two years. The Bluegrass State’s six congressional districts are currently held by five Republicans and one Democrat. Although a solidly red state, Kentucky Republicans were unable to redraw their maps for this cycle to squeeze out the lone Democrat, Rep. Morgan McGarvey, in the Louisville-based 3rd District because of Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.
据选情分析人士称,肯塔基州众议院选区中本轮唯一有竞争力的选战将在列克星敦为基础的第6选区展开,该席位由七届众议员安迪·巴尔留出,他是今年接替长期参议员米奇·麦康奈尔(共和党)的共和党提名人。
According to election handicappers, the only competitive race this cycle among Kentucky’s House districts will be in the Lexington-based 6th District, which is being vacated by seven-term Rep. Andy Barr, who’s the GOP nominee to succeed longtime Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) this year.
共和党试图凭借提名人拉尔夫·阿尔瓦拉多守住该席位,阿尔瓦拉多曾任州参议员和副州长候选人,直到最近还担任田纳西州卫生部专员。扎克·登博是挑战阿尔瓦拉多的民主党提名人,他是一名海军老兵和前联邦检察官。视州内地点不同,投票将于美东时间下午6点或7点截止。
Republicans are trying to keep the seat in their column with nominee Ralph Alvarado, a former state senator and candidate for lieutenant governor who until recently served as the commissioner of Tennessee’s health department. Zach Dembo is the Democratic nominee taking on Alvarado. He’s a Navy veteran and former federal prosecutor. Polls close at 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. EST depending on location within the state.
