MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican challenger Tim Michels have agreed to debate just one time ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
The debate will be Oct. 14, hosted by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, held in Madison and broadcast statewide.
Both campaigns put out a joint statement announcing the agreement on Monday.
In 2018, Evers debated then-Gov. Scott Walker twice in October.
Michels, co-owner of construction company Michels Corp., debated his Republican challengers twice this summer.
One was in a traditional debate format and the other was a town hall where questions came from people in the audience.
