Indiana gubernatorial candidates are scheduled to take part in a televised debate Oct. 24, the Indiana Debate Commission announced Monday.
Republican Sen. Mike Braun, Democrat Jennifer McCormick and Libertarian Donald Rainwater have agreed to participate in the debate, which will be broadcast live from 7 p.m.-8 p.m. from the WFYI public television station in Indianapolis.
The candidates are vying to replace Gov. Eric Holcomb, who cannot run for reelection due to term-limit rules. The election is Nov. 5.
The debate will be provided to all media outlets statewide to broadcast live over-the-air or online.
Commission member Laura Merrifield Wilson, a political science professor and host of WICR-FM 88.7’s “Positively Politics,” will moderate the debate.
The debate will also be live-streamed on the commission’s website at www.indianadebatecommission.com.
The Commission plans to release an announcement soliciting questions from Hoosiers before the debate.
