Washington gubernatorial candidates Dave Reichert (R) and Bob Ferguson (D) squared off in their second, and perhaps final, debate in Spokane on Wednesday, September 18, 2024.

The Association of Washington Business and Greater Spokane Inc. hosted the second gubernatorial debate at The Fox Theater. Kalae Chock and Sean Owsley from NonStop Local and Austin Jenkins from Pluribus News moderated the debate.

Reichert and Ferguson discussed topics impacting voters like business climate, cost of living, the economy, public school funding, green energy and emissions, transportation, reproductive freedom, and taxes.

The debate was televised by KHQ-TV and KOMO-TV, which is the exclusive debate partner for western Washington. The debate aired on KOMO News in western Washington.

The general election will take place on November 5, 2024. According to the Washington Secretary of State’s Office, the start of the 18-day voting period begins on October 18 – ballots will be mailed out and Accessible Voting Units will be available at voting centers.
