Congressional candidates Elan Carr, left, and Ted Lieu shake hands after taking part in a debate at The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles on Wednesday night, Oct. 22, 2014. The event was jointly presented by KPCC and USC's Unruh Institute of Politics.

State Senator Ted Lieu and L.A. Deputy District Attorney Elan Carr discuss hot topics and election issues during a debate on Wednesday, October 22.

Henry Waxman was first elected to represent California's 33rd Congressional District almost thirty years ago, and his legacy casts a long and enduring shadow over the nation’s policies, from expanding health care coverage and curbing tobacco use, to restricting air and water pollution. Now two candidates, Democratic State Senator Ted Lieu and Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Elan Carr, a Republican, are vying to replace him. Join us on Wednesday, October 22nd, when they face off in one of their last debates before the November 4th election to discuss a full range of domestic and foreign policy challenges awaiting the next Congress.
