Democrats to debate in L.A.

The Democratic National Committee announced Wednesday that Los Angeles will serve as the host of one of the six sanctioned debates by presidential candidates.
The DNC sanctioned California debate is set to take place Dec. 10 in Los Angeles, and will be sponsored by CBS.
“Today’s announcement by the DNC is a step forward for the people of California and a step forward for the Democratic process," state Party Chair Art Torres said.
"California is home to nearly seven million Democratic voters, a global economic power, and the most culturally and ethnically diverse state in the nation. With our Feb. 5 primary and now the White House hopefuls set to debate the issues that matter to Californians, it is ensured that our terrific field of candidates will be responsive to California’s great diversity of ideas and needs. For that reason all Americans will benefit.”
The six DNC sanctioned debates and the media sponsors announced today are as follows: July 23, YouTube/Google and CNN* in Charleston, SC.; Aug. 19, ABC in Des Moines, IA; Sept. 26, NBC News/MSNBC in Hanover, NH; Oct. 30, NBC News/MSNBC** in Philadelphia, PA; Nov.15, CNN* in Las Vegas, NV, and Dec. 10, CBS in Los Angeles, CA
