华盛顿州第1国会选区关税成选战焦点：德尔本尼寻求第八任期、席尔瓦挑战
华盛顿州第1国会选区覆盖斯诺霍米什县与金县部分地区，关税议题成为10月31日见报的选战焦点。
现任民主党众议员苏珊·德尔本尼正在寻求第八个任期。她表示，自特朗普政府上任之初开始的贸易战已重创华盛顿州农民，贸易政策引发的报复推高了价格、令销售更加困难；西华盛顿大学的研究也显示，美加跨境商业与旅行在过去两年受到冲击。德尔本尼说，如果民主党重新夺回众议院多数，将着力收回贸易政策主导权，关税议题应由国会表决决定。
共和党挑战者玛丽·席尔瓦则认为，关税带来的价格上涨属于短期问题，从长远看把制造业与消费带回美国将使选民受益。华盛顿州本届选举投票将于11月3日晚8时截止，选民可在此之前通过投票箱或邮寄方式交回选票。

Tariffs a Hot Topic in Washington's 1st Congressional District as DelBene Seeks Eighth Term against Silva
Washington's 1st Congressional District, covering parts of Snohomish and King counties, saw tariffs become a central campaign issue in coverage published October 31.
Incumbent Democratic Representative Suzan DelBene is seeking an eighth term. She said the trade war that began at the start of the Trump administration has hit Washington farmers hard, with retaliation raising prices and making goods harder to sell, and Western Washington University studies show cross-border commerce and travel with Canada have been strained over the past two years. DelBene said that if Democrats recapture the House, they will focus on wrestling back control of trade policy, which she said belongs to Congress.
Republican challenger Mary Silva said higher prices from tariffs are a short-term problem and that, keeping long-term gains in mind, bringing back American ingenuity and spending on American products will uplift voters. Voting in Washington ends at 8 p.m. on November 3; voters can return ballots by drop box or mail until then.
