Congressman Jay Inslee’s only debate in his bid for re-election is tonight. And, fortunately for Bainbridge Islanders, it’s on Bainbridge.
Inslee will debate Republican challenger James Watkins, a Redmond business consultant.
It all kicks off at 7 p.m. at the American Legion Hall, 7880 Bucklin Hill Rd.
I don’t know that it can be called a “debate” but Inslee and Watkinds did face off in a well-managed candidate forum at the Hansville Community Club on Friday, October 8.
The League of Women Voters managed that forum much better than the American Legion folks did theirs. There was no yelling, cheering, booing, etc., allowed by the League.
The rudeness of some of the Watkins supporters at the American Legion Hall was startling to me. North Kitsap Republicans do not act like that – they must have come from the other side of the Sound.
