This Sunday, October 23rd, WDIO will present “Debate Night in Minnesota.” The three-hour debate will feature candidates running for Minnesota Secretary of State, Minnesota Attorney General and Minnesota Governor. The event will be broadcast live from Saint Paul College in St. Paul. WDIO will broadcast the event beginning at 6:00 p.m. as well as stream on WDIO.com and on our YouTube channel.

The first hour will be the Attorney General’s debate between Democratic Incumbent Keith Ellison and Republican challenger Jim Schultz, followed by the Secretary of State’s debate between Democratic Incumbent Steve Simon and Republican challenger Kim Crockett.
