The 2009 special election for the 20th congressional district of New York was held on March 31, 2009, to fill the vacancy created in January 2009 when the district's representative, Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand, was appointed US senator from New York, replacing Hillary Clinton, who had been appointed Secretary of State in the Obama administration. The two major-party candidates were Democrat Scott Murphy, a private businessman, and Republican Jim Tedisco, the minority leader of the New York State Assembly. A third-party candidate, Libertarian Eric Sundwall, was initially included in the race, but later removed from the ballot.

  • 2009年纽约州第二十国会选区特别选举于2009年3月31日举行,旨在为纽约州选派联邦众议员,填补前任议员陆天娜于2009年1月出任联邦参议员后出现的席位空缺。该州联邦参议员希拉里·罗德姆·克林顿此前接受总统贝拉克·奥巴马提名出任国务卿一职,州长大卫·帕特森任命陆天娜填补空缺。参选的两大党派候选人分别是民主党人、私营商户斯科特·墨菲,以及共和党人、纽约州众议院少数党领袖吉姆·泰迪斯科。此外,埃里克·桑德沃尔起初以第三党候选人身份参选,但没能进入最后的较量。 第二十国会选区历来倾于保守,竞选早期的民調表明泰迪斯科胜算较大,但到了2009年2月,选举已是胜负难料。共和党将这场选举视为对总统奥巴马经济政策的全民公决,因此为泰迪斯科的竞选注入重资,还出动多位知名共和党政治领袖——如前联邦众议院议长纽特·金里奇、国会少数党领袖约翰·博纳、以及前纽约州州长乔治·保陶基为候选人摇旗呐喊。民主党则以总统奥巴马、副总统乔·拜登,以及联邦参议员陆天娜的支持来应战。 竞选期间出现的主要议题包括:各候选人对总统奥巴马经济刺激计划的立场,泰迪斯科直到竞选后期才对此表态反对,墨菲则表示支持。泰迪批评这一经济刺激计划是美国国际集团巨额奖金丑闻爆发的潜在因素,他的竞选团队还指称墨菲在20世纪90年代创办公司时没有依法纳税。墨菲则经常以泰迪斯科的主要住所并不在第二十国会选区内来展开进攻。 (zh)
