Attorney General candidates Republican Steve Cooley and Democrat Kamala Harris will debate

Attorney General candidates Republican Steve Cooley and Democrat Kamala Harris will debate Oct. 5 at the UC Davis School of Law.

The debate is their first — and only scheduled debate.

The debate will be held noon to 1 p.m. in the law school’s recently opened Kalmanovitz Appellate Courtroom. The candidates will be available to answer questions following the debate.

Tickets are not available due to limited seating. However, some public seating will be available on a first-come basis in a nearby classroom where the debate will be simulcast.

The debate will be available live to the public at law.ucdavis.edu.

Cooley is the Los Angeles County District Attorney, while Harris has the same position in San Francisco County.

The winner will succeed Jerry Brown, the current attorney general and the Democratic gubernatorial candidate. The attorney general heads the Department of Justice and serves as chief legal counsel in state litigation.
