新罕布什尔州长选战:沃明顿以关税议题叫板现任州长阿约特

埃克塞特——新罕布什尔州民主党州长候选人辛德·沃明顿9月30日走访埃克塞特多家小企业时表示,如果与联邦政府就关税问题谈判无果,她当选州长后将"绝对"起诉联邦政府,并批评现任共和党州长凯莉·阿约特没有采取同样立场。
沃明顿说,新罕布什尔州99%的企业是小企业,关税正在推高它们的成本,旅游业也在下滑。她提到,已有25个州于8月3日就关税问题在美国国际贸易法院起诉特朗普政府,"其他州长都在站出来反击,我当州长也会站出来反击"。
阿约特10月1日回应称,她一向反对对加拿大加征关税,"这对新罕布什尔州没有好处",并敦促联邦政府尽快解决与这个新罕布什尔州最大贸易伙伴之一的争端。两人将于11月3日对决,争夺州长职位。根据圣安塞尔姆学院9月28日至29日对1,042名可能投票选民的民调,阿约特以52%对45%领先沃明顿。

New Hampshire Governor Race: Warmington Presses Ayotte on Tariffs
EXETER — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cinde Warmington said during a September 30 visit to Exeter businesses that if negotiations with the federal government over tariffs fail, she would "absolutely" sue the federal government as governor, criticizing incumbent Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte for not taking the same position.
Warmington said 99% of New Hampshire businesses are small businesses, tariffs are driving up their costs and tourism has declined. She noted that 25 states sued the Trump administration over tariffs in the U.S. Court of International Trade on August 3, adding that "other governors are standing up and fighting back, and I would stand up and fight back as governor."
Ayotte responded on October 1 that she has long opposed tariffs on Canada because "they simply are not good for New Hampshire," urging the administration to resolve the dispute with one of the state's largest trading partners quickly. The two face off November 3. A Saint Anselm College poll of 1,042 likely voters conducted September 28-29 showed Ayotte leading Warmington 52% to 45%.
