State Democrats want presidential primary debate in Washington

State Democrats are urging the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to host its third presidential primary debate in Washington.

“Washington state is kind of a microcosm of the entire country," said Democratic Party Chair Tina Podlodowski. "I mean think about western Washington, eastern Washington. We’ve got everything from high tech to agriculture, fisheries, to so many things that are happening here in this state."

The DNC has planned debates in Detroit and Miami this summer.

Last month, Podlodowski, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, and Seattle Theatre Group Executive Director Josh Labelle asked DNC Chair Tom Perez to consider Seattle’s Paramount Theatre for the committee’s West Coast debate location.
