Watch Friday night's debate (Valdez and White) on KXAN.COM

[LeftInTX]

Dallas Morning News political writer Gromer Jeffers will moderate a Democratic gubernatorial runoff debate between Lupe Valdez and Andrew White Friday at St. James Episcopal Church in East Austin.

The debate will not be televised, but a live stream of the 7 p.m. event will be made available through KXAN.com. The church, located at 1941 Webberville Road, has a seating capacity of 250 and a limited number of free tickets were made available at 6 p.m. Tuesday via the debate’s official Facebook event page.

The debate, the only one between White and Valdez, is being sponsored by a grassroots coalition, including the State Tejano Democrats, Texas Coalition of Black Democrats, Texas College Democrats, Texas Young Democrats, Texas Stonewall Democrats and the Travis County Democratic Party.

“The people asked for a debate and grassroots groups delivered,” said coalition leader, James Lee, an elected representative of the Hispanic Caucus on the Democratic State Executive Committee.

Spectrum News will also air the debate, but I don't know if it will just be in Austin or statewide.

1. I really don't care which one will be abbott's opponent.

Either one would be a much better and more knowledgeable Governor than the one we have now.
abbott, paxton, and patrick need to be voted out so that adults can once again govern the people of Texas.

2. Just finished watching

I liked both of them, would be happy with either over Abbott.

I think Lupe had a slight emotional edge, while Mark had a slight edge on detailed issue knowledge.

Pretty much as expected for me. I lean more liberal, so my heart is probably for Lupe, but I will happily support whichever of these candidates faces Greg Abbott in November.
