California attorney general contenders Steve Cooley, republican, and Kamala Harris, democrat, will debate for the first time today at the UC Davis School of Law.
Cooley and Harris will debate from noon to 1 p.m. in the Kalmanovitz Appellate Courtroom. Due to limited space, tickets are not being issued, but the public can view a live webcast on the UC Davis law website.
Kevin Riggs, KCRA 3’s political reporter, will moderate the session. Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Morain, Los Angeles Times reporter Jack Leonard and San Francisco Chronicle reporter Marisa Lagos will make up the question panel.
The attorney general is the state’s top law enforcement officer, heading the Department of Justice and serving as chief legal counsel in state litigation.
Cooley has been Los Angeles County’s district attorney since 2000. Harris has been San Francisco’s district attorney since 2003.
