(LOS ANGELES TIMES) HOUSTON — Texas’ first congressional candidate debate in Spanish could help decide one of the closest races in the country.
Incumbent Republican Rep. Francisco “Quico” Canseco, 63, atea party conservative, will face challenger Pete Gallego, 50, a Democratic state representative, Tuesday night in an hourlong debate aired by Spanish-language networkUnivision.
The event at Palo Alto College in San Antonio will be moderated by KWEX Univision 41 anchor Arantxa Loizaga, with questions from a panel of reporters at the station, the San Antonio Express-News and Texas Public Radio. English translations will be available at the time, but not Saturday when the debate is expected to be broadcast on KWEX and sister stations across the district, Univision staff said.
