Republican Governor Kim Reynolds and Democratic challenger Fred Hubbell issued a joint statement Monday night to announce they’ve agreed to debate one another three times on live television in October.
The first televised debate between the two candidates will be held in Des Moines. The second will be in Sioux City and the third will be in Davenport.
Here are the details provided by the two campaigns.
