OPB's Dave Miller and Jeff Mapes discuss Thursday night's debate at Winston Churchill High School in Eugene between three candidates for Oregon governor: incumbent Democrat Kate Brown, Republican Bud Pierce, and Independent Party candidate Cliff Thomason.

Domestic violence, health care and the very unpopular idea of a sales tax are just a few of the topics the candidates discussed during the hour-long debate.
