OK, so when and where is/are the debate/s?

Got an email from Wendy's campaign: WATCH: Debate FRIDAY.
Then there is this link:

To see what TV stations are playing the debate, or to watch it online, click
here to check out our Debate Center.


It takes you to their site which is supposed to stream the debate, but there is nothing about TV stations.

So I go the the KERA site: http://keranews.org/texas-debates-race-governor?__utma=164821157.26871561.1411015261.1411015261.1411015261.1&__utmb=164821157.6.10.1411015261&__utmc=164821157&__utmx=-&__utmz=164821157.1411015261.1.1.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=(not%20provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=170200992

...and I expect a big city TV station will carry it, but I have not checked schedules.

It will be streamed at the Texas Tribune link (further down)

Friday is a big day in Texas.
It’s been two decades since we’ve had a competitive gubernatorial election, and a long time since we’ve had a such an important debate.

That all changes Friday at 6pm, when Wendy Davis debates Greg Abbott for the first time.

The more Texans who watch = The more who will understand what is at stake in this election and vote!

Greg Abbott has a lot to answer for, and he’s run a campaign based upon avoiding tough questions. Why did he rule against justice for four rape survivors? What does his opposition to abortion, even in cases of rape or incest, mean for Texas women? Why has he fought so hard in support of closing health clinics across the state?

Friday night, we just might find out.

Let your community know you’re watching and so should they!

I can tell you one thing: Whatever Greg Abbott does or does not answer to on Friday night, Planned Parenthood Texas Votes will be ready to hold him accountable. We will be present in the Rio Grande Valley for the debate, and making sure everyone online knows where he stands on our issues.

There are only two gubernatorial debates before election day. Don’t miss out on this historic opportunity.

Thank you for supporting all Texas women. And for fighting to make sure our voices are heard in this election.

Planned Parenthood Texas Votes PAC
