Gubernatorial candidates Dave Reichert and Bob Ferguson will square off in their second, and perhaps final, debate in Spokane on Wednesday.

Reichert, of Seattle, kicked off the debate with an opening statement in which he described his childhood, growing up poor in the East Renton Highlands. A former U.S. Representative and the former sheriff of King County, Reichert said he’s running his campaign based on the criminal justice system and the homeless.

Washington state’s longtime attorney general and a former sheriff known for his work hunting down the Green River serial killer will go head-to-head in a debate as they vie to become the state's next governor.
