【西雅图中文电台特稿】即将于2020年8月4日举行的华盛顿州初选中，有36人竞选州长，12人竞选副州长，代表华盛顿州的10个联邦众议院的席位将全部改选，每个席位都有4-19人不等的参选人竞争，而华盛顿州的大多数参议员和众议员也都面临着改选。初选获胜进入大选的候选人，能否改变华盛顿州的政治版图，是本次初选人们关注的焦点。
以下是8月4日在华盛顿州举行的初选中要举行的主要竞选，其中包括州长、副州长和总检察长等的选举。8月4日的初选中有几场州里最高级别的选举，包括州长、副州长、州务卿和总检察长的初选。所有国会议员席位都将重新选举，而10区是美国众议员丹尼·赫克（Denny Heck）宣布退休后的一个开放领域，该席位将有19人争夺。
选票上也有许多地方税和债券的公投。
西雅图中文电台曾专访多位候选人，在此仅供各位选民参考，不代表本台的立场。
州长
共有36名州长候选人参加竞选。其中，现任杰·英斯利（Jay Inslee）竞选第三任华盛顿州州长。去年I-976的发起人和政治挑衅者蒂姆·艾曼（Tim Eyman）引起了人们的关注；而前博塞尔市市长约书亚·弗里德（Joshua Freed）筹集了所有挑战者中最多的钱；共和党警察局长洛伦·库尔普（Loren Culp）和州参议员菲尔·福图纳托（Phil Fortunato）也得到了很大的支持。亚基马（Yakima）医生劳尔·加西亚（Raul Garcia）登记参选的时间很晚，他获得了多位温和的、老牌的共和党人的背书。

副州长
在现任民主党副州长赛勒斯·哈比卜于今年早些时候宣布他将离职并加入罗马教廷担任神职人员之后，有十二名候选人争相竞选这个席位。
知名度较高的民主党候选人包括前美国众议员丹尼·赫克（Denny Heck）和州参议院多数党领袖马克·利亚斯（Marko Liias）；知名度较高的共和党候选人包括律师安·戴维森·萨特勒（Ann Davison Sattler），前州议员迪克·穆里（Dick Muri）和前皮尔斯县共和党主席马蒂·麦克莱登（Marty McClendon）等，其中Marty McClendon四年前曾在初选中胜出，但是在大选中负于Cyrus Habib。

总检察长
现任华州总检察长鲍勃·弗格森（Bob Ferguson）吸引了三位共和党挑战者：律师马特·拉金（Matt Larkin），迈克·瓦斯卡（Mike Vaska）和布雷特·罗杰斯（Brett Rogers）。
弗格森已经担任了八年的州总检察长。
州务卿
有四名候选人争夺州务卿
华盛顿州在八月四日的初选中，现任共和党人金·怀曼将面对埃德·明格，绅士·兰格和盖尔·塔尔顿的挑战。
怀曼曾是瑟斯顿县审计师，自2013年以来一直担任州务卿。在所有挑战者中，民主党人塔雷顿（Talleton）似乎是最有政治经验的人，担任州代表和西雅图港专员。
五、第八选区联邦国会议员的选举
共和党人希望在2018年输给民主党人金·施里尔（Kim Schrier）后夺回第八选区国会席位。
Schrier吸引了七个挑战者：James Mitchell，Corey Bailey，Jesse Jensen，Ryan Dean Burkett，Dave Saulibio，Keith Arnold和Keith R. Swank。
第八选区是一个广阔而多样的地区，覆盖金县，皮尔斯县，奇兰县和基蒂塔斯郡的部分地区。
第十选区联邦国会议员
十九名候选人正在关注国会议员丹尼·赫克（Denny Heck）退休所空缺的华州第10区联邦国会众议员的职位。
候选人名单中包括塔科马前市长玛丽莲·斯特里克兰（Marilyn Strickland），她在2010-17年之间任职担任该市市长。
被选举担任第10区的众议员将代表皮尔斯县、瑟斯顿县和梅森县的部分地区。
皮尔斯县警长
有四人竞争取代皮尔斯县警长保罗·帕斯托（Paul Pastor），他担任该职务已有19年之久，已于今年退休。
候选人包括国防部警官中士达林·哈里斯（Darin G. Harris）；皮尔斯县议会主席道格·理查森（Doug Richardson）；皮尔斯郡治安官的发言人埃德·特罗耶（Ed Troyer）和皮尔斯郡治安官的中尉辛迪·法哈多（Cyndie Fajardo）。
