As part of its Emmy-winning Vote Texas initiative, KVUE hosted a debate on Tuesday, Feb. 18 between the U.S. Senate Democratic candidates running for incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn's seat in the upcoming election.

KUT, Austin's NPR station, broadcast the debate on KUT 90.5.

The debate comes weeks before the March 3 Texas primary election, which will determine which of those Democratic candidates will face the Republican challenger – most likely Sen. Cornyn – in the November general election.
