Senator Jeanne Shaheen's announcement of her non-candidacy has precipitated a cascade of fiercely contested electoral battles.

上院議員ジーン・シーン不出馬表明は、熾烈を極める選挙戦連鎖的発生惹起した

Among the eight Republican aspirants vying to succeed the three-term Democratic incumbent, two are former senators whom she had previously vanquished: John E. Sununu and Scott Brown.

三選を果たした民主党所属議員後継の座窺う共和党候補者八名うち二人彼女が過去に退けた元上院議員ジョン・E・スヌヌスコット・ブラウンである。

The quintet contending for the Democratic nomination includes Congressman Chris Pappas, whose relinquishment of his First District seat has engendered an influx of additional candidates.

民主党の指名争う五名による角逐には、下院議員クリス・パパス名を連ねており彼が第一選挙区の議席離脱することで更なる立候補者殺到招いた

Stephanie Sheen, the congressman's daughter, stands alongside former candidate Maura Sullivan as one of the contenders vying for the Democratic nomination in the race to succeed Papas.

ステファニー・シーンすなわちシーンの令嬢は、元候補者マウラ・サリバンと並びパパス氏の議席を巡る民主党予備選への立候補者の一人として名を連ねている

Several aspirants in other prominent contests have likewise intimated their intentions to throw their hats into the ring once more.

その他の主要な選挙戦における複数の候補者たちもまた再び出馬の意思を示している。

Having served six years in the House of Representatives and one term in the Senate, Mr. Sununu narrowly lost to Ms. Sheehan in the 2008 election; this time, however, he is concentrating his efforts on pivotal issues such as housing, healthcare, and energy affordability, congressional accountability, and constituent services.

スヌヌ氏は下院議員として6年間上院議員として1期務めた後2008年の選挙でシーン氏に惜敗したが、今回は住宅医療エネルギーの価格負担能力議会の説明責任有権者サービスといった重要課題に焦点を当てている

"I have remained entirely detached from the political arena for seventeen years.

私は17年にわたり政界から完全に距離を置いてまいりました

I harbour no apprehensions regarding re-election," he reminisced during his campaign tour last month.

再選を懸念してはおりません」と彼は先月の遊説中に述懐した

"I seek neither appointed office nor any formal duties.

私は任命職や職務を求めておりません

Nor do I feel any compulsion to ingratiate myself with others.

誰かを喜ばせる必要性もございません

There exists but a single mission I am bound to accomplish.

ただ唯一成し遂げるべき使命がございます

That is, to rise up in defence of the people of New Hampshire."

それはニューハンプシャー州の民のために立ち上がることです。」

Mr. Brown once held a seat representing Massachusetts, having triumphed in the special election held in 2010 following the demise of Senator Ted Kennedy, only to relinquish that position in 2012.

ブラウン氏はかつてマサチューセッツ州を代議する立場にあった2010年にテッド・ケネディ上院議員の逝去に伴う補欠選挙において勝利を収めたものの2012年にはその座を失った

In 2014, he mounted a challenge to Shaheen but was defeated, whereupon he subsequently assumed the distinguished post of Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa during the first administration of President Donald Trump.

2014年にはシーンへの挑戦を試みる敗北しその後ドナルド・トランプ大統領の第一期政権下においてニュージーランド及びサモア駐在大使の要職を務めた

In a July interview, he articulated that his resolve to seek office once more was cemented by the conspicuous absence of a Republican representative from New Hampshire in Congress, and, in his estimation, the unparalleled breadth of his own experience as a veteran, legislator, ambassador, and grandfather.

7月のインタビューにおいて、彼は共和党のニューハンプシャー州選出議員が議会に不在であること、そして彼の見解によれば退役軍人、議員、大使祖父としての経験は比類のないものであることから再び立候補する決意を固めたと述べた

He criticizes Sununu, whose father and brother are former governors, for "coasting on his name."

彼は父と弟元知事であるスヌヌを「名前で楽をしている」と非難している

Despite Sununu having called Trump a "loser" in 2024, he has also secured Trump's endorsement, yet Brown contends that this merely subordinates him to the president and other special interests.

スヌヌは2024年にトランプを「敗北者」と呼んだにもかかわらず、トランプの支持も得ているがブラウンはそれは彼を大統領や他の特別利益に従属させるだけだと述べた

"I am unequivocally the sole candidate possessed of an independent spirit, and with a lucid conscience and the paramount interests of New Hampshire at heart, I shall not hesitate to cast my vote on any measure whatsoever," Brown declared.

私はまさに独立心を有する唯一の候補者であり、明晰な良心ニューハンプシャー州の至高の利益を胸にいかなる議案に対しても投票することを躊躇しない」とブラウンは言明した

Jim Loomis, an 83-year-old resident of Bow, had supported Brown in the 2014 election, yet on Tuesday he withheld his vote from him.

ボウ在住の83歳になるジム・ルーミス氏は2014年の選挙ではブラウン氏を支持したものの火曜日の投票では同氏に票を投じなかった

"He was unable to regain his momentum," Loomis remarked.

彼は再び勢いを取り戻すことができなかったからだと同氏は述べた

While acknowledging that Sununu had been absent from the political arena for an even more protracted period, Loomis nonetheless cast his ballot for him.

ルーミス氏はスヌヌ氏がさらに長期間にわたり政界から離れていた事実を認めつつも同氏に一票を投じたのである

"I am of the conviction that the accomplishments he has amassed over the course of his professional life have brought him into sufficiently close proximity with the matters currently at hand.

彼が長年にわたり職業生活において積み重ねてきた業績が、彼を現在進行中の事柄へと十分に接近させてきたものと私は考える

Moreover, by virtue of his familial bonds, one might contend that he is endowed with a more stable foundation," he mused reflectively.

さらに家族とのを有することにより彼はより安定的な基盤を具備していると言えよう」と彼は述懐した

Papas, who has served four terms in the House and is now relinquishing his seat, has amassed a war chest twice the combined campaign funds of Sununu and Brown, and has vanquished his Democratic primary rivals by an overwhelming margin.

4期にわたり下院議員を務め、議席を明け渡すパパスはスヌヌとブラウンの選挙資金を合算した額の2倍もの資金を調達し民主党予備選における対立候補たちをも圧倒的な差で退けた

Moreover, although he had established an overwhelming lead in the polls, that advantage has of late been rapidly eroded by Kalishma Mansour, a scientist and democratic socialist.

さらに世論調査では圧倒的優位を築いていたものの近年では科学者であり民主社会主義者でもあるカリシュマ・マンズールによってそのリードを急速に縮められつつある

Christine Sereznick, a 41-year-old resident of Bow, while conceding that Papas is a "decent enough" candidate, voiced her disquiet over his acceptance of funds from super PACs and his casting of an "abstention" vote rather than a nay on the measure to restrict arms sales to Israel.

41歳のボウ在住クリスティン・セレズニックは、パパスを「悪くない」候補と認めつつもスーパーPACからの資金受領とイスラエルへの武器売却制限措置に対して反対票ではなく「出席」票を投じた点に懸念を表明した

She cast her ballot for Manzoor.

彼女はマンズールに一票を投じた

"I harbour profound empathy for her policies across the board.

彼女の政策全般に深甚なる共感を抱いております

I am convinced that she possesses the exceptional qualities requisite to serve as an unparalleled advocate for Granite State," she remarked.

彼女はグラニット州にとって比類なき代弁者としての卓越した資質を具備していると確信しておりますと彼女は述べた

Stephanie Sheen and Sullivan stand out among the seven aspirants vying for the Democratic nomination in the First Congressional District as the preeminent contenders locked in a contest for supremacy.

ステファニー・シーンとサリバンは第1選挙区における民主党指名の獲得を目指す7名の候補者群の中でその最有力の座を競う存在として際立っている

Having served on the Portsmouth City Council, Sheehan subsequently leveraged her experience to establish an enterprise dedicated to supporting individuals afflicted with chronic conditions, a venture catalyzed by her daughter's diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

Concurrently, she remains actively engaged with a biotechnology initiative in New Hampshire aimed at advancing regenerative medicine within the state.

サリバンは元海兵隊員でありイラク戦争の退役軍人としての経歴を有しバラク・オバマ大統領政権下において退役軍人省の次官補を歴任した

Moreover, serving as the vice chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, he vied for the First District congressional seat in 2018, yet ultimately succumbed to defeat at the hands of Pappas in a fiercely contested primary characterized by a crowded field of eleven aspirants.

さらに、ニューハンプシャー州民主党の副委員長を務める同氏は、2018年に第1選挙区の議席獲得を目指して立候補したものの、11人の候補者が乱立する予備選挙においてパパスに敗北を喫した

Among the four Republican contenders are Anthony DiLorenzo, who, despite a complete absence of political experience, owns a dealership chain and has secured Trump's endorsement, and Holly Novaretski, a veteran who, in addition to holding nurse practitioner credentials and running a steel manufacturing firm, had previously sought the same seat two years ago.

共和党の4人の候補者には政治経験が皆無でありながらディーラーチェーンを所有しトランプの支持を取り付けているアンソニー・ディロレンツォ退役軍人でありながらナースプラクティショナーとしての資格を有し鉄鋼製造会社を経営するとともに2年前に同じ議席への立候補を試みたホリー・ノベレツキー名を連ねている

In the Second Congressional District, incumbent Democratic Representative Maggie Goodlander, who is vying for her inaugural term, confronts a primary challenge from Paige Beauchemin, a progressive state legislator and registered nurse.

第2選挙区において初当選を目指す民主党現職のマギー・グッドランダー下院議員は進歩派の州議会議員であり看護師でもあるペイジ・ボーシェミンとの予備選挙に直面している

Among the quartet of Republican contenders stands Lily Tang Williams, who secured the party's nomination two years ago and now aspires to clinch the seat for a third time.

共和党側の4人の候補者陣営には、2年前に党の指名を勝ち取ったリリー・タン・ウィリアムズが名を連ねており彼女は今回で3度目の議席獲得を企図している

In stark contradistinction to the comportment of the Democratic delegation in the federal legislature, the Republican Party continues to wield an overwhelming preponderance within the apparatus of state governance.

連邦議会における民主党代表団の行動様式とは対照的に、州政府の統治機構の領域では、共和党が圧倒的な優位性を保持し続けている。

Governor Kelly Ayotte of the Republican Party finds herself pitted against two largely obscure challengers in the primary election as she seeks a second term.

共和党のケリー・エイヨット知事は二期目を目指す予備選においてほとんど無名の二人の対立候補と相対している

Cinde Warmington, a healthcare attorney, is assured of unopposed passage through the Democratic nomination.

医療弁護士であるシンデ・ワーミントンは民主党指名において無投票で通過することが確定している

Voters will likewise nominate candidates for the entire state legislature.

有権者はまた州議会全体の候補者をも指名する。

Within the state legislature, the Republican Party commands a majority of roughly forty seats in the 400-member lower house, and likewise outnumbers the Democrats in the upper chamber by a margin of sixteen to eight.

州議会においては共和党が400議席からなる下院で約40議席の過半数を占めており上院においても民主党を16対8で上回っている

While New Hampshire has long been accustomed to holding the first presidential primary in the nation, it remains among the final states to conduct its state-level primary, with the victor facing the formidable task of appealing to the electorate during the eight-week sprint leading up to November 3rd.
