Washington voters got their first glimpse of how the two candidates for Washington governor feel about the same issues at the same time. Two-term Gov. Jay Inslee met with his Republican challenger, Republic police chief Loren Culp, Wednesday night for a one-hour debate.

 

Inslee focused less on what he planned to do over the next four years and more on his record on healthcare, working on climate policy, and getting out of the COVID health and economic crisis over the past eight years โ€“ a record that Culp challenged.

 

Culp highlighted his own experience as a business owner running a construction operation in the Puget Sound region and his time in the military to make the case for his leadership abilities. He highlighted his experience not only as a police officer and small-town police chief for 10 years, but his views on elected officials being public servants.

 

โ€œEveryone in government, whether appointed or elected, are public servants,โ€ Culp said in response to his take on how to handle the coronavirus pandemic. โ€œAnd I firmly believe in individual freedom and liberty. โ€ฆ The problem is when we have one person sitting in the governorโ€™s office telling everyone what theyโ€™re going to wear, whether theyโ€™re going to go to work. โ€ฆ Thatโ€™s the problem that Iโ€™ve had with this.โ€

 

Inslee was emphatic during the debate, as he has been over the past six months, that the steps the state has taken, from the stay-at-home order in March to stopping in-person school earlier this spring to later on requiring people wear masks while inside public space, have โ€œsaved lives.โ€

 

Culp has said he would let public health officials and scientists tell the public what needs to be done to address the pandemic and let people decide โ€“ and that he wouldnโ€™t enforce and impose emergency orders.
