新罕布什尔州州长选战举行第二场辩论 阿约特与沃明顿交锋 共和党州长协会发声明力挺现任
新罕布什尔州州长选战10月22日举行第二场辩论，现任共和党州长凯利·阿约特与民主党候选人辛德·沃明顿同台交锋。共和党州长协会（RGA）当天在辩论后发表声明，力挺阿约特并抨击沃明顿。
RGA通讯主任科林·克朗普顿在声明中称，沃明顿试图改写自己的记录，但本州选民清楚她若当州长将是一场「灾难」；声明指沃明顿曾为普渡制药游说、称奥施康定是「神奇药物」，如今又推动会抬高本州家庭生活成本的议程。声明同时称，阿约特过去两年把新罕布什尔州放在首位，保持低税、扩大住房供应并守护社区安全。
据本台此前报道，沃明顿近期获得前副总统哈里斯背书，阿约特则寻求连任。距离11月3日选举日不到两周，这场州长选战与同日举行的联邦参议员席位争夺——现任民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣退休后留下的空缺——共同把新罕布什尔州推向全国瞩目。辩论之后，双方阵营预计将把竞选重点放在税负、住房成本和阿片类药物危机等本州议题上。

Ayotte and Warmington Clash in Second New Hampshire Gubernatorial Debate; RGA Backs Incumbent
New Hampshire's gubernatorial race held its second debate on October 22, pitting incumbent Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte against Democratic candidate Cinde Warmington. The Republican Governors Association (RGA) issued a statement after the debate backing Ayotte and attacking Warmington.
RGA communications director Colin Crompton said in the statement that Warmington is trying to rewrite her record, but voters in the state know she would be a "disaster" as governor. The statement noted that Warmington once lobbied for Purdue Pharma and called OxyContin a "wonder drug," and now pushes an agenda that would raise living costs for New Hampshire families. It also said Ayotte has put New Hampshire first over the past two years, keeping taxes low, expanding housing supply and keeping communities safe.
As GSM reported earlier, Warmington recently received the endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris, while Ayotte is seeking re-election. With less than two weeks to the November 3 election, the governor's race — together with the same-day contest for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen — has drawn national attention to New Hampshire. After the debate, both campaigns are expected to focus on state issues such as taxes, housing costs and the opioid crisis.
