Washington gubernatorial candidates Representative Jay Inslee (D) and State Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) debated campaign issues including Medicaid, job growth, and immigration. Mr. McKenna made a portion of his opening remarks in Spanish for the large Hispanic population of the Yakima Valley. Former Representative Inslee talked of how he spent years as a lawyer in the Yakima area and launched his political career there, including his first term in Congress. He later moved to the Seattle area and won a congressional seat there. The debate at the Yakima Conference Center was presented by KCTS 9, KYVE 47, the Yakima Herald-Republic and the Association of Washington State Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (AWSHCC).
