FORT WORTH (February 9, 2010)--Hair care magnate Farouk Shami guaranteed Monday night he would create 100,000 jobs available to everyone if he's elected governor.

During a debate Monday night in Fort Worth that was televised statewide, the Democrat also offered free electricity and said he would enact a moratorium on the death penalty.

Three-term former Houston Mayor Bill White focused on GOP incumbent Gov. Rick Perry.

Both Democrats from Houston agreed on the importance of jobs.

White said the way to create jobs is to retrain unemployed people and ensure they have a job at the end of the training.

The question of a death penalty moratorium was a major point of disagreement.

Shami said "a lot of innocent people" have been put to death in Texas.

But White said a blanket suspension wouldn't work.

White said that would disrespect juries, victims and criminal justice in cases in which there is no question about the evidence.

The Democratic primary is March 2.
