INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s three gubernatorial candidates have agreed to take part in a live televised debate in October organized by the Indiana Debate Commission.
Republican Mike Braun, who’s leaving the U.S. Senate after one term, will join Democratic Jennifer McCormick and Libertarian Donald Rainwater during the Oct. 24 debate at the studios of Indianapolis public television station WFYI-TV, the commission said.
The three candidates are vying to succeed Gov. Eric Holcomb, a two-term Republican who can’t run again due to term limits.
Commission member Laura Merrifield Wilson, a political science professor and host of WICR radio’s “Positively Politics,” will moderate the debate, which will be broadcast and also livestreamed on the commission’s website, www.indianadebatecommission.com.
The commission said it will solicit questions in advance from the Indiana public.
“The Indiana Debate Commission looks forward to hosting a fair and informative discussion of the issues that matter most to Hoosier voters,” commission President Elizabeth Bennion said in a news release. “We appreciate the candidates’ willingness to participate in a live, televised debate that helps voters statewide understand the candidates’ positions and cast an informed vote.”
The Indiana Debate Commission is a nonpartisan, statewide, volunteer organization founded in 2007.
