Sound Politics is breaking down the big debate! You know it - the one that had you glued to your TV screen, the one all of your group chats were blowing up about, the one that culminated in a cat selfie on Instagram.

No, not that debate - we're talking about the first governor's race debate showdown between former Republican congressman Dave Reichert, and Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson!

Sound Politics co-hosts Libby Denkmann and Scott Greenstone discuss highlights from the debate, and where the race goes from here.

NOTE:After we recorded this episode, we noticed another poll that came out today from Cascade PBS. That one has Bob Ferguson with a far more commanding lead — half of voters plan to vote for him, and only 39 percent for Reichert.
