华盛顿市长与国会代表选举今日投票：刘易斯·乔治被看好接替鲍泽
美国哥伦比亚特区华盛顿市选民11月3日投票选举市长、国会无投票权代表、总检察长与市议会议员，投票中心上午7时至晚上8时开放，特区登记选民可在任何投票中心投票。
市长选举方面，民主党人 Janeese Lewis George 在6月党内初选中以54%的得票率胜出，被普遍看好当选。她将面对州建制绿党（Statehood Green Party）候选人 Robert Gross、独立候选人 Rhonda Hamilton 以及多名手写候选人。胜选者将接替完成第三任期、不再寻求连任的市长 Muriel Bowser。Lewis George 在竞选中把捍卫特区有限自治权作为核心议题。
国会代表选举方面，民主党提名人 Robert White 11月2日辞去市议会全区议员职务，原因是相关法规禁止国会代表在选举日同时担任另一有薪公职；他将面对共和党人 Denise Rosado 与州建制绿党人 Kymone Freeman。选民还将选举第1、第3、第5和第6选区的市议员、议会议长与全区议员，并对禁止生产和销售鹅肝的第86号倡议表态。

DC Voters Cast Ballots in Mayoral and Congressional Delegate Races, With Lewis George Favored to Succeed Bowser
Voters in Washington, District of Columbia, cast ballots on November 3 for mayor, the District's non-voting congressional delegate, attorney general and council seats. Vote centers are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and registered DC voters may vote at any vote center.
In the mayoral race, Democrat Janeese Lewis George, who won the June primary with 54% of the vote, is the heavy favorite. She faces Statehood Green Party candidate Robert Gross, independent Rhonda Hamilton and write-in contenders. The winner will succeed Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is completing her third term and did not seek re-election. Lewis George has made defending the District's limited home rule a central campaign theme.
In the delegate race, Democratic nominee Robert White resigned his at-large council seat on November 2 because the law bars a congressional delegate from holding another paid public office on Election Day; he faces Republican Denise Rosado and Statehood Green candidate Kymone Freeman. Voters are also choosing council members for Wards 1, 3, 5 and 6, the council chair and an at-large member, and deciding Initiative 86, which would ban the production and sale of foie gras.
