Join KUOW, UW Impact and the UW Alumni Association for a virtual conversation with KUOW journalists and UW-affiliated experts ahead of each presidential debate. We’ll guide you through what to expect, discuss how issues might impact Washington voters, offer local and national political analysis, and invite you to share your perspective. Bonus: James Beard Award-winning chef and UW alumna Renee Erickson, ’95, has created a special purple and gold debate cocktail, the Violette Swing, for registrants to make at home, or to enjoy at Bistro Shirlee in the U District for a post-debate toast.

Guests: Dr. Christopher Parker, UW professor, and Rob McKenna, ’84, former WA attorney general and former gubernatorial candidate
