共和党州长协会五天投入42.7万美元挺斯科特 佛蒙特州长选战升温
蒙彼利埃消息：共和党州长协会（RGA）在佛蒙特州的投入持续加码。据《佛蒙特政治观察》（Vermont Political Observer）10月12日报道，RGA设在该州的机构「更强大的佛蒙特」（A Stronger Vermont）在短短五天内报告了427,388.90美元的支出——包括最新报告的252,826.90美元和此前几天报告的约174,562美元。这笔钱用于支持现任州长菲尔·斯科特（共和党）、攻击其民主党挑战者阿曼达·贾努（Amanda Janoo）。
报道指出，RGA还另行拨出40万美元供未来使用，使其在佛蒙特的总投入达到约80万美元——这一数字超过了2018年以来任何一个年份RGA在该州的花费。佛蒙特是全美人口第二少的州，如此规模的外部资金涌入，在当地选举中相当罕见。
斯科特自2017年起担任州长，是全美支持率最高的州长之一，但他在深蓝的佛蒙特面临的选情并不轻松：民调机构State Navigate 10月7日发布的调查显示，斯科特以46%对43%仅领先贾努3个百分点。评论人士认为，RGA罕见地在这样一个小州重金投入，本身就说明其内部评估认为这场选举存在风险。
民主党方面批评外部资金试图左右佛蒙特选举；斯科特阵营则强调其跨党派支持基础。本报道仅陈述竞选资金与民调事实，不代表任何政治立场。

Republican Governors Group Spends $427,000 in Five Days as Vermont Governor's Race Heats Up
MONTPELIER, Vt. — The Republican Governors Association is spending heavily to defend Gov. Phil Scott. According to Vermont Political Observer (Oct. 12), the RGA's in-state vehicle, A Stronger Vermont, reported $427,388.90 in spending within five days — a newly reported $252,826.90 on top of roughly $174,562 reported days earlier — supporting Scott and attacking his Democratic challenger, Amanda Janoo.
The group has also set aside another $400,000 for future use, bringing the RGA's total Vermont commitment to about $800,000 — more than it spent in the state in any year since 2018. For the nation's second-least-populous state, that level of outside money is unusual.
Scott, in office since 2017, is perennially among the nation's most popular governors, but his race in deep-blue Vermont is not comfortable: a State Navigate poll released Oct. 7 showed Scott leading Janoo by just 46% to 43%. Commentators note that the RGA's decision to spend this much in such a small state itself signals the group sees real risk in the race.
Democrats criticize the outside spending as an attempt to sway a Vermont election; Scott's campaign emphasizes his cross-party appeal. This report states the campaign-finance and polling facts without taking a political position.
