The Colorado Sun and CBS4 are pleased to host a gubernatorial debate tonight, Thursday, October 13 at 6pm.
The midterm elections are generating more interest than ever this year. All of Colorado’s statewide offices are on the ballot as well as the closely watched U.S. Senate race where incumbent Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet faces Republican challenger Joe O’Dea.
As a result of the 2020 Census, Colorado also gained a new Congressional district. CD8 is being hotly contested between Democrat Yadira Caraveo and Republican Barbara Kirkmeyer, as Republicans try to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives. District 7 is also up for grabs after Rep. Ed Perlmutter announced his retirement.
And across the state, voters will decide on 11 ballot measures including ones relating to psychedelic mushrooms and liquor sales, as well as various local issues.
Tonight, CBS News Colorado, in cooperation with the Colorado Sun, will host the gubernatorial candidates — incumbent Democrat Jared Polis and Republican challenger Heidi Ganahl — in a live debate on CBS News Colorado at 6pm. The Colorado Sun joins us for this debate where topics will include abortion rights as well as the economy and inflation.
This debate comes just before ballots are mailed out the following week.
