The announcement by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen that she would not seek re-election triggered a cascade of fiercely contested races.

米䞊院議員ゞヌン・シヌンの䞍出銬衚明により、熟烈な遞挙戊が連鎖的に発生した。

Among the eight Republican candidates vying to succeed the three-term Democrat are two former senators she had previously defeated: John E. Sununu and Scott Brown.

3期務めた民䞻党員の埌任を目指す共和党候補8人のうち2人は、圌女が過去に砎った元䞊院議員、ゞョン・E・スヌヌずスコット・ブラりンだ。

The five contenders for the Democratic nomination include Representative Chris Pappas, whose departure from his First District seat has drawn an even larger field of candidates.

民䞻党指名を争う5人の候補者には䞋院議員クリス・パパスが含たれおおり、圌が第1遞挙区の議垭を離れるこずで、さらに倚くの候補者が集たる結果ずなった。

Stephanie Sheen, the daughter of Sheen, is among the candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for Papas's seat, alongside former candidate Maura Sullivan.

シヌンの嚘であるステファニヌ・シヌンは、元候補のマりラ・サリバンず䞊び、パパスの議垭を巡る民䞻党指名を争う候補者の䞀人に名を連ねおいる。

Several other contenders facing major races have also signaled their intention to run again.

䞻芁な遞挙戊に臚む他の候補者数名も、再び立候補の意思を瀺しおいる。

Having served six years in the House and one term in the Senate, Sununu lost to Sheehan in the 2008 election, but this time he is focusing on issues such as the affordability of housing, healthcare, and energy, congressional accountability, and voter services.

スヌヌ氏は、䞋院で6幎間、䞊院で1期務めた埌、2008幎の遞挙でシヌン氏に敗北を喫したが、今回は䜏宅、医療、゚ネルギヌの䟡栌負担、議䌚の説明責任、有暩者サヌビスずいった論点に重点を眮いおいる。

"I have been away from the political arena for seventeen years.

「私は17幎間、政治の䞖界から離れおいたした。

I am not worried about re-election," he said during a campaign tour last month.

再遞を心配しおはいたせん」ず圌は先月の遊説䞭に語った。

"I do not need appointments or a job.

「私は任呜や仕事を必芁ずしおいたせん。

Nor do I need to please anyone.

誰かを喜ばせる必芁もありたせん。

There is only one thing I need to do.

ただ䞀぀だけやるべきこずがありたす。

That is to stand up for the people of New Hampshire."

それは、ニュヌハンプシャヌ州の人々のために立ち䞊がるこずです。」

Brown once represented Massachusetts, having won a seat in the 2010 special election following the death of Senator Ted Kennedy, only to lose it in 2012.

ブラりンはか぀おマサチュヌセッツ州を代匁する立堎にあり、2010幎にテッド・ケネディ䞊院議員の死去に䌎う特別遞挙で議垭を勝ち取ったものの、2012幎にはその座を倱った。

He subsequently made an unsuccessful bid to challenge Shaheen in 2014, and later served as ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa during Donald Trump's first term as president.

その埌2014幎にシヌンぞの挑戊を詊みたが及ばず、ドナルド・トランプ倧統領の第䞀期政暩䞋ではニュヌゞヌランドずサモアの倧䜿を務めた。

In a July interview, he stated that his decision to run again was driven by the absence of any Republican congressman from New Hampshire in the legislature, and, in his view, by the fact that his experience as a veteran, legislator, ambassador, and grandfather was unparalleled.

7月のむンタビュヌで、圌は共和党のニュヌハンプシャヌ州遞出議員が議䌚にいないこず、そしお圌の芋解では、退圹軍人、議員、倧䜿、祖父ずしおの経隓は他に類を芋ないこずから、再び出銬するこずを決めたず述べた。

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

圌は、父ず匟が元知事であるスヌヌを「名前で楜をしおいる」ず非難しおいる。

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

スヌヌは2024幎にトランプを「敗北者」ず呌んだにもかかわらず、トランプの支持も埗おいるが、ブラりンは、それが圌を倧統領や他の特別利益に埓属させるだけだず述べた。

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

「私は真に独立した唯䞀の候補者であり、明確な良心ずニュヌハンプシャヌ州の最善の利益をもっお、いかなる案件にも投祚するこずができたす」ずブラりンは述べた。

Jim Loomis, an 83-year-old resident of Bow, had supported Brown in the 2014 election, yet on Tuesday he did not cast his vote for him.

ボり圚䜏の83歳のゞム・ルヌミスは、2014幎の遞挙ではブラりンを支持したものの、火曜日には圌に祚を投じなかった。

"Because he was unable to regain his momentum," he remarked.

「圌は再び勢いを取り戻すこずができなかったからだ」ず圌は述べた。

While acknowledging that Sununu had been away from politics for an even longer stretch, he nonetheless voted for him.

圌はスヌヌがさらに長い期間、政界から離れおいたこずを認め぀぀も、圌に投祚した。

"I believe that the achievements he has accumulated over many years in his professional life have led him to engage sufficiently deeply with the ongoing challenges.

「圌が長幎にわたっお職業生掻で積み重ねおきた業瞟が、圌を珟圚進行䞭の課題に十分に深く関䞎させるに至ったず私は考える。

"Furthermore, one could say that, through his family ties, he possesses a more solid foundation," he reflected.

さらに、家族ずの絆によっお、圌はより盀石な基盀を有しおいるず蚀えよう」ず圌は述懐した。

After serving four terms as a legislator, Papas was set to relinquish his House seat, yet he managed to raise funds equivalent to twice the combined amount of Sununu and Brown, thereby overwhelming his Democratic primary opponents.

パパスは4期にわたり議員を務めた埌、䞋院議垭を譲るこずになるが、圌はスヌヌずブラりンの合蚈額の2倍に盞圓する資金を調達し、民䞻党予備遞の察立候補たちを圧倒した。

Moreover, although he had held a substantial lead in opinion polls, that margin has recently been narrowed by Kalishma Mansour, a scientist and democratic socialist.

たた、䞖論調査では倧きくリヌドしおいたが、最近では科孊者で民䞻瀟䌚䞻矩者のカリシュマ・マンズヌルにその差を詰められおいる。

Christine Seleznyk, 41, a resident of Bow, acknowledged Papas as a "not bad" candidate, yet voiced concerns over his acceptance of funds from super PACs and his casting of an "abstention" vote rather than opposing restrictions on arms sales to Israel.

41歳のクリスティン・セレズニックは、ボり圚䜏で、パパス氏を「悪くない」候補ず認め぀぀も、スヌパヌPACからの資金受領や、むスラ゚ルぞの歊噚売华制限措眮に反察せず「出垭」祚を投じた点に懞念を衚明した。

She cast her vote for Manzoor.

圌女はマンズヌル氏に䞀祚を投じた。

"I deeply resonate with her policies across the board.

「圌女の政策党般には深く共感しおおりたす。

I am convinced that she is the very person who could serve as an outstanding spokesperson for Granite State," she remarked.

圌女こそがグラニット州の芋事な代匁者たり埗る人物だず確信しおおりたす」ず圌女は述べた。

Stephanie Sheen and Sullivan are the two most prominent contenders among the seven candidates vying for the Democratic nomination in the First Congressional District.

ステファニヌ・シヌンずサリバンは、第1遞挙区における民䞻党の指名を目指す7人の候補者の䞭で、最も有力芖されおいる二人である。

Scene boasts a background as a Portsmouth city councilor.

シヌンはポヌツマス垂議䌚議員ずしおの経歎を有しおいる。

Prompted by her daughter's diagnosis with type 1 diabetes, she established an initiative to support individuals living with chronic conditions.

圌女は、嚘が1型糖尿病ず蚺断されたこずを契機に、慢性疟患を抱える人々を支揎する事業を立ち䞊げた。

Moreover, she is involved in a biotechnology-related endeavor aimed at advancing regenerative medicine within New Hampshire.

さらに、ニュヌハンプシャヌ州における再生医療の掚進を目指すバむオテクノロゞヌ関連のむニシアチブにも参画しおいる。

Sullivan is a former Marine with a background as a veteran of the Iraq War, and he previously served as an assistant secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs under President Barack Obama's administration.

サリバンは元海兵隊員であり、むラク戊争の退圹軍人ずしおの経歎を持ち、バラク・オバマ倧統領政暩䞋で退圹軍人省の次官補を務めた経緯がある。

Moreover, Sullivan, who also holds the position of vice chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, ran for the First District seat in 2018, yet he suffered defeat at the hands of Pappas in a primary election crowded with eleven contenders.

さらに、ニュヌハンプシャヌ州民䞻党の副委員長を兌任するサリバンは、2018幎に第1遞挙区の議垭獲埗を目指しお立候補したものの、11人の候補者がひしめく予備遞挙においおパパスに敗北を喫した。

Among the four Republican candidates are Anthony DiLorenzo, who, despite lacking political experience, owns a dealership chain and has secured Trump's endorsement, and Holly Noveletsky, a veteran who works as a nurse practitioner, runs a steel manufacturing company, and ran for the same seat two years ago.

共和党の4人の候補者には、政治経隓がなくずもディヌラヌチェヌンを所有し、トランプの支持を埗おいるアン゜ニヌ・ディロレンツォず、退圹軍人でありながらナヌスプラクティショナヌずしお働き、鉄鋌補造䌚瀟を経営し、2幎前に同じ議垭に立候補したホリヌ・ノベレツキヌが含たれおいる。

In the second district, Democratic incumbent Representative Maggie Goodlander, who is seeking her first full term, faces a primary challenge from Paige Beauchemin, a progressive state legislator and nurse.

第2遞挙区では、初圓遞を目指す民䞻党珟職のマギヌ・グッドランダヌ䞋院議員が、進歩掟の州議䌚議員であり看護垫でもあるペむゞ・ボヌシェミンずの予備遞に盎面しおいる。

Among the four Republican candidates is Lily Tang Williams, who secured the party's nomination two years ago and is now vying for the seat for a third time.

共和党の候補者4人の䞭には、2幎前に党の指名を勝ち取ったリリヌ・タン・りィリアムズも名を連ねおおり、圌女は3床目の議垭獲埗を狙っおいる。

In contrast to the Democratic delegation in the federal Congress, the Republican Party holds a dominant position at the state government level.

連邊議䌚における民䞻党代衚団ずは察照的に、州政府レベルでは共和党が優䜍な立堎を占めおいる。

Governor Kelly Ayotte of the Republican Party is facing two virtually unknown challengers in the primary election as she seeks a second term.

共和党のケリヌ・゚むペット知事は、二期目を目指す予備遞においお、ほずんど無名の二人の察立候補ず察峙しおいる。

Cinde Warmington, a healthcare attorney, is widely expected to secure the Democratic nomination uncontested.

医療匁護士であるシンデ・ワヌミントンは、民䞻党の指名候補ずしお無投祚で通過するこずが確実芖されおいる。

Voters will also nominate candidates for the entire state legislature.

有暩者はたた、州議䌚党䜓の候補者も指名する。

In the legislature, Republicans hold a majority of about 40 seats in the 400-seat House, and they also outnumber Democrats 16 to 8 in the Senate.

州議䌚では、共和党が400議垭の䞋院で玄40議垭の過半数を占め、䞊院でも民䞻党を16察8で䞊回っおいる。

New Hampshire is renowned for always holding the first presidential primary, yet it is one of the last states to conduct its state-level primary, and the victor will have eight weeks until November 3rd to appeal to voters.

ニュヌハンプシャヌ州は倧統領予備遞を垞に最初に行うこずで知られおいるが、州レベルの予備遞では最埌の州の䞀぀であり、その勝者は11月3日たでの8週間で有暩者に蚎えかけるこずになる。

However, a law enacted this year has moved future state primaries to the second Tuesday of June.

しかし、今幎成立した法埋により、将来の州予備遞は6月の第2火曜日に移されるこずになった。
