Watch 15th Assembly District Candidates Debate in Berkeley

Tuesday October 14, 2014 - 02:43:00 PM

The race for the 15th Assembly District is now hot and heavy. Last week the Berkeley Daily Planet videoed a Berkeley debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters between the two remaining candidates, Tony Thurmond and Elizabeth Echols, both Democrats. They're running against each other in the General Election because of a new California law establishing an open spring primary, which eliminated all non-Democrats and even some of the other Democrats who ran for this office.

We'll be posting a series of excerpts from this lengthy debate over the next week.
