Primary voters in New Hampshire will head to the polls on Tuesday to select candidates for a total of 424 seats in Congress, the governorship, and the state legislature, with ballots featuring not only incumbents but also a number of familiar faces.

新罕布什爾州的初選選民將於週二國會州長州議會共424個席位選出候選人,除了現任者之外,選票上也有不少為人所熟知的面孔

Senator Jeanne Shaheen's announcement that she would not seek re-election has sparked a fiercely contested race.

聯邦參議員珍妮·沙欣宣布不再競選連任此舉引發了一場激烈的競爭

Among the eight Republican contenders vying to replace the three-term Democratic senator are two former senators she had previously defeated: John E. Sununu and Scott Brown.

在八位希望取代這位三屆民主黨參議員共和黨候選人中有兩位她先前擊敗過的前聯邦參議員約翰·E·蘇努努斯科特·布朗

The Democratic primary, meanwhile, features a five-way contest, including Representative Chris Pappas, whose withdrawal has drawn a crowded field of candidates to the First Congressional District seat.

民主黨初選則有五人角逐包括聯邦眾議員克里斯·帕帕斯他的退出使得第一國會選區的席次吸引了眾多候選人

Shaheen's daughter, Stefany Shaheen, is also vying for the Democratic nomination for Papas's seat, competing alongside former candidate Maura Sullivan.

沙欣的女兒斯特凡尼·沙欣在角逐帕帕斯席位的民主黨提名前候選人莫拉·沙利文同場競爭

In several other pivotal races, a number of candidates are also making renewed bids for office.

其他幾場關鍵選戰有多位候選人再度參選。

Sununu served six years in the U.S. House of Representatives and held one term as a senator before losing to Shaheen in 2008.

蘇努努曾於聯邦眾議院任職六年在2008年敗給沙欣之前擔任過一屆參議員

This time, his campaign centers on the affordability of housing, healthcare, and energy, congressional accountability, and the effective delivery of constituent services.

此次他聚焦的議題涵蓋住房醫療與能源的可負擔性、國會問責機制以及選民服務的落實

At a campaign rally last month, he stated, "I have been away from politics for seventeen years and harbor no concerns whatsoever about reelection.

在上個月的一場競選集會如此表示:「我已闊別政壇十七載對於連任一事毫無掛慮

I require neither appointments nor positions, nor do I need to curry favor with anyone.

無需任何任命職位無須討好任何人

The sole mission I bear is this: to stand up for the people of New Hampshire."

所肩負的使命僅有一項新罕布什爾州的人民挺身而出。」

Brown once represented Massachusetts, emerging victorious in the 2010 special election following Senator Ted Kennedy's passing, yet he failed to secure re-election in 2012.

布朗曾代表麻薩諸塞州泰德·甘迺迪參議員辭世後,在2010年的特別選舉中脫穎而出,然而2012年卻未能連任

He suffered another defeat when challenging Shaheen in 2014, and subsequently, during President Trump's first term, was appointed to serve as ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.

於2014年挑戰沙欣時再度鎩羽而歸隨後在川普總統的首個任期內獲派駐節紐西蘭薩摩亞之大使職。

In a July interview, he attributed his decision to run again to the lack of substantive representation for New Hampshire Republicans in Congress;

在七月的一次訪談中表明再度參選的決定,源於新罕布什爾州的共和黨人在國會中缺乏實質代表

At the same time, he firmly believed that his extensive experience as a veteran, congressman, ambassador, and grandfather was truly unparalleled.

同時,他深信自身作為退伍軍人、國會議員、大使及祖父豐富閱歷實屬無可比擬

He accused Sununuwhose father and younger brother have both served as governorsof having coasted to victory on the strength of his family's reputation alone.

指責蘇努努——其父胞弟曾任州長——不過是憑藉家族聲望輕取勝選

Although Sununu had disparaged Trump as a "loser" in 2024, he nonetheless secured the latter's endorsement; Brown, however, contended that this merely reduced him to a puppet of the president and other special interest groups.

蘇努努於2024年以「輸家」一詞貶抑川普獲得後者力挺布朗認為此舉不過使其淪為總統及其他特殊利益集團傀儡

Brown stated, "As the only truly impartial candidate here, I can vote on any issue with a clear conscience and with the best interests of New Hampshire at heart."

布朗說:「作為此地唯一真正不偏不倚的候選人以無愧的良心,並以新罕布什爾州的最大利益為出發點對任何議題進行表決。」

Jim Loomis, an eighty-three-year-old voter from Bow, stated that he had supported Brown in 2014 but did not cast his vote for him this time, reasoning that "he could no longer muster the momentum he once had."

現年八十三歲來自鮑鎮的選民吉姆·盧米斯表示於二〇一四年曾支持布朗此次未再投他一票理由是他再也未能凝聚起昔日的聲勢」。

He admitted that Sununu had been away from politics for an even longer stretch, yet in the end he still cast his ballot for Sununu.

坦言蘇努努離開政壇的時間更為久遠他最終仍將選票投給了蘇努努

He remarked, "In my view, his years of experience have endowed him with a remarkably keen insight into the current situation, and coupled with his family background, I believe his foundations are far more solid and profound."

他道:「依我之見他多年來的歷練使他對當前局勢保有相當敏銳的洞察加之其家世淵源我認為他的根基更為深厚扎實。」

After serving four consecutive terms, Pappas relinquished his seat in the House of Representatives, having raised twice as much funding as Sununu and Brown combined, and far surpassing his Democratic primary rivals.

帕帕斯在連任四屆後放棄了他的聯邦眾議員席位,他籌集的資金是蘇努努和布朗總和的兩倍,也遠超民主黨初選對手

He also holds a substantial lead in the polls, although his advantage over Karishma Manzoor, a scientist and democratic socialist, has narrowed recently.

他在民調中也大幅領先不過最近科學家兼民主社會主義者卡里什瑪·曼祖爾的優勢有所縮小

Kristin Selesnick, a 41-year-old voter from Bow, described Pappas as a "decent" candidate, yet she took issue with his acceptance of super PAC funding and his casting of an "attendance" vote rather than a nay on the measure to restrict arms sales to Israel.

來自鮑鎮的41歲選民克里斯汀·塞萊斯尼克表示帕帕斯算是「不錯」的候選人但她不喜歡他接受超級政治行動委員會的資金,以及他在限制向以色列出售武器的措施上投了「出席」票而非反對票

She cast her ballot for Manzoor.

投票給了曼祖爾

She remarked, "I genuinely admire her overall policy blueprint.

她表示:「由衷欣賞整體的政策藍圖

I am confident that she will be able to voice a resounding opinion on behalf of the Granite State."

我相信將能花崗岩州發出擲地有聲的意見。」

Among the seven Democratic nominees in the first district, Stephanie Shaheen and Sullivan have distinguished themselves and taken the lead.

選民還將整個州議會提名候選人目前共和黨在擁有400席的州眾議院中,以約40席的優勢佔據多數,並在參議院以16比8的席次比領先民主黨
