根据决策桌总部（Decision Desk HQ）的初步结果，前哈特福市长、民主党人卢克·布朗宁（Luke Bronin）将赢得代表康涅狄格州第1国会选区的席位，他在初选中击败了长期众议员约翰·拉森（John Larson，康涅狄格州民主党）。
Luke Bronin, the former Democratic mayor of Hartford, will win the seat representing Connecticut’s 1st Congressional District after ousting longtime Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) in the primary, according to preliminary results from Decision Desk HQ.
布朗宁击败共和党候选人埃米·蔡（Amy Chai）的胜利在该坚定的蓝州选区大体在意料之中，该选区涵盖宪法州中心地区，包括哈特福。
Bronin’s win over GOP candidate Amy Chai was largely expected for the solid-blue district, which covers the area around the Constitution State’s center, including Hartford.
拉森于1998年首次当选该席位，是一批因在国会任期过长而受到批评的现任议员之一。他在国会任职14届，并在民主党初选中面对三名挑战者。
Larson, who was first elected to the seat in 1998, was among a group of incumbents criticized for their long stints in Congress. He served 14 terms in Congress and faced three Democratic primary challengers.
布朗宁在8月初选前获得了康涅狄格州民主党的背书，他在竞选中辩称，拉森是个“好人”，但随着民主党在特朗普第二任期下寻求立足之地，需要变革。
Bronin, who received the endorsement of the Connecticut Democratic Party ahead of the August primary, argued on the campaign trail that Larson is a “good man” but change is needed as the Democratic Party tries to find its footing under the second Trump administration.
布朗宁于2016年至2024年担任哈特福市长，专注于哈特福的破产和经济适用房问题。
Bronin served as the mayor of Hartford from 2016 to 2024, focusing on Hartford’s bankruptcy and affordable housing.
此前，布朗宁曾在奥巴马政府下担任财政部高级官员，协助建立消费者金融保护局。
Prior to this, Bronin was a senior official at the Treasury Department under the Obama administration, helping establish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
他后来担任财政部反恐融资和金融犯罪副助理部长，随后在2013年由时任康涅狄格州州长丹内尔·马洛伊（Dannel Malloy，民主党）任命为其总法律顾问。
He later served as deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury Department for terrorist financing and financial crimes before former Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) appointed him as his general counsel in 2013.
布朗宁2005年在马洛伊的竞选中担任副竞选经理，开始了他的政治生涯，当时他正在康涅狄格州的耶鲁法学院就读。
Bronin first got his start in politics working as Malloy’s deputy campaign manager in 2005, while attending Yale Law School in Connecticut.
他后来于2007年至2018年担任海军情报军官，并于2010年至2011年被派往阿富汗，参与美国军队的反腐败特遣部队任务。
He later served as a Navy intelligence officer from 2007 to 2018 and was deployed to Afghanistan on the U.S. military’s anti-corruption task force from 2010 to 2011.
