A packed house turned out Friday night for “The Debate At The State” at Modesto’s State Theatre, where Rep. John Duarte and former Assemblyman Adam Gray discussed the most talked-about issues in the race for California’s 13th Congressional District.

From abortion to water rights, the two candidates gave their stances on a wide variety of topics.

The event was sponsored by The Central Valley Journalism Collaborative, The Merced FOCUS, Capital Public Radio, Valley Public Radio, The Maddy Institute, UC Merced Center for Analytical Political Engagement, and Community Media Access Collaborative.
