SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - Former Assemblymember Adam Gray and current U.S. House Representative John Duarte faced off in a televised hour-long debate in Sacramento Thursday night.  It's a high-stakes race with many eyes watching the candidates.  Just 564 votes separated Gray and Duarte in the 2022 midterm election. Now the two are facing off for a rematch.  Both candidates are running to represent California's 13th Congressional District, which spans across Fresno, Madera, Merced, Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties.  The debate began with the issue of immigration where both candidates were asked about amnesty and deportations. "I would support amnesty for the families who've been living here, working here for more than five years and living in the shadows, but otherwise legal. Not breaking the law and working here in America and keeping our economy going," Duarte said.  "Because of politics and because of President Trump at the top of the ticket, creating division, insulting immigrants and scaring people, calling them rapists and criminals, that opportunity for progress got blown up. And so we need to send people to Congress that are actually going to work together with both parties to tackle this," Gray said.   Another big issue brought up by the debate moderators was the cost of living. The candidates were asked about rent control and the minimum wage. Candidates were also asked about affordable housing and their solutions to tackle the current issue.  "We can spend our infrastructure dollars and we can reduce our requirements on new homebuilders and we can get water where it needs to be," Duarte said.  "We need the job training program to actually get the workforce to have a major renaissance and explosion of building," Gray said.  The moderators also asked about funding for high-speed rail. Gray said he'd support more funding, but wants the project to be on time and on budget, while Duarte said he wouldn't and would want the money to go to other projects. Duarte was asked by the moderators if he'd support codifying Roe v. Wade into law, protecting abortion rights.  "I would... I would look at it. That's a hypothetical. So I can't answer because I can't see the bill. But I am pro-choice and I do fundamentally believe a woman's choice to have an abortion is between her and her doctor," Duarte said.  And Gray, who has already said he would vote to codify Roe, was asked if he supported any limits on abortion.  "Again, a doctor and a woman will make the reproductive health care choices that are medically appropriate, and that's where we need to leave it," Gray said.  There are more registered Democrats over Republicans in the district.  Republicans who currently hold a very slim majority in Congress are looking to hold onto every single seat they have, including this one. But Democrats are trying to pick up seats wherever they can to gain control. By looking at the registration data, and the close results from two years ago, Democrats have narrowed in on this seat as one to flip.  Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
