SPOKANE, Wash. — The Washington State Debate Coalition (WSDC) announced Senator Patty Murray (D- Wash.) and candidate Tiffany Smiley will be at Gonzaga University for a U.S Senate candidate debate in October.
“Now, more than ever, it is important for voters to hear directly from candidates for public office. From the environment and education to the economy and elections, it is critical that this year’s candidates share their vision for the future and that we provide voters with direct access to leaders,” said Alicia Crank, executive director of Seattle CityClub in a press release.
The debate takes place Oct. 23, at 5 p.m. Murray and Smiley will take the stage at the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center at Gonzaga University in Spokane, in partnership with the Spokesman-Review and League of Women Voters.
The WSDC plans to have a live audience at the debate venue. The debates will also be available to viewers across Washington via live TV and radio broadcasts, as well as video and audio streaming.
According to the WSCD, moderators, media panelists and details to send in viewer questions for the debate will be announced in the coming weeks.
