I want give kudos to KVUE for the quality production and moderation -- an excellent use of the virtual debate format.

MJ’s behavior was so inappropriate and unbecoming. John Cornyn will play her like a fiddle in a debate. I will be casting my vote for Royce West.

[milianozuniga-deanda]

I was willing to be convinced with Royce West but MJ Hegar has me set in supporting her.

[msKita]

People talking trash about how Heger is inappropriate. I see a person whose passionate about why she's running. West seems like he's just running off ego and just wants a ticket win. I'm not mad at her one bit. I think she's real and really passionate.

Vote for Royce West! A proven candidate with the ability to govern!

MJ Hegar said the more progressive answer for greatest national security threat, climate change

[shirleyledford]

She just said we haven't been fielding candidates for Democratic Primaries in the past! What???

[doomstar]

If she has worked in health care, then she knows and should run on a M4A platform but she beats around the bush on everything.

[vickieparker]

Royce West has the experience and street cred to beat Cornyn.

[NightEmbers]

I don't mind MJs policies but clearly Royce West is the better option. I get it, I'm a combat veteran too but that's not enough experience to be 1 of just 2 people to represent the entirety of Texas.

I voted last Sunday and this was the toughest choice on my ballot. It's like watching these debates and reading certain articles is an exercise in masochism about whether I chose the wrong candidate, but I think either one could be great and both stand a decent chance against Cornyn. Here's hoping....

[pookiewood]

MJ! It's a debate! Back and forth is how it works. Stop whining. I left this one blank on my Ballot and I think both will lose to Cornyn. Jose Garza was the "top" of my ticket.

[vburgan]

MJ all the way! She's not afraid to fight for what her fellow Texans need: healthcare reform, reproductive rights, climate change action, sensible gun legislation, immigration reform.

[msKita]

Heger seems to be the one for me outta this debate. I wanted to like a West but I don't appreciate his stance on unlimited terms coupled with the allegation he made millions in office.

[Longhorn_Legend]

Royce West is the only choice in this race
