Another debate in California’s governor’s race is set for Tuesday, April 28, coming nearly a week after leading gubernatorial candidates addressed homelessness and California’s gas tax in a different debate.

The debate will be held at Pomona College’s Bridges Auditorium in Claremont, and it’s in partnership with CBS News California, the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs and Pomona College.
