Democratic Governor Jay Inslee vs. Republican Skin Suit Bill Bryant
Today is the first debate between the two people running to be Washington’s governor: Current governor and standard, fine-I-guess Democrat Jay Inslee vs. former port commissioner and spineless Republican Bill Bryant. The debate is happening in Spokane and will be live streamed right here.
Expect talk about the state’s criminal underfunding of public schools, the accidental early release of state prisoners, Donald Trump, and maybe even Bryant’s plans to put a moratorium on all new regulations “until the effectiveness of existing regulations can be evaluated.”
Their debate starts at 4 p.m. Tune in.
UPDATE: Here’s the full debate and our recap.
