Republican challenger Damon Dunn threw some verbal punches at incumbent Secretary of State Debra Bowen in an hourlong debate Wednesday – but there were no knockdowns.

Bowen calmly defended her four-year track record, opting not to trade blows with a challenger seeking his first public office.

“If you want to know what I will do if re-elected, I invite you to evaluate what I’ve done with my two primary goals when I ran (in 2006),” the Democrat said in the Bay Area debate carried online.

Bowen said her goal in becoming secretary of state was to ensure that California’s voting system remains secure and to provide better access to public records at lower cost.

Dunn didn’t comment on Bowen’s controversial decision in 2007, meant to improve system security, that sharply curtailed touch-screen voting after a team of hackers deemed such machines vulnerable to attack.
