Henry Waxman was first elected to represent California's 33rd Congressional District almost thirty years ago, and his legacy casts a long and enduring shadow over the nation’s policies, from expanding health care coverage and curbing tobacco use, to restricting air and water pollution. Now two candidates, Democratic State Senator Ted Lieu and Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Elan Carr, a Republican, are vying to replace him. On Wednesday, October 22nd, they faced off in one of their last debates before the November 4th election, discussing a full range of domestic and foreign policy challenges awaiting the next Congress.

This debate was jointly presented by KPCC, Southern California Public Radio and the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California, and was hosted by The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. The debate was co-moderated by KPCC's Larry Mantle and USC's Dan Schnur.
