California Governor Candidates Signal Agreement On Saving Hollywood, But Spend Much Of CNN Debate Sparring And Interrupting

Seven candidates for California governor crowded a CNN debate stage in East Los Angeles on Tuesday, spending much of the two hours sparring and strategizing to gain an upper hand in a race that still remains fluid.

One of the few moments where the contenders didn’t interrupt each other or throw out attack lines came when they were asked about their plans to save Hollywood, as the industry grapples with a production flight to other states and countries.

Co-moderator Elex Michaelson noted that some of the candidates have come out with plans calling for unlimited tax credits to film and TV productions, rather than the $750 million currently allotted.
