The state’s two candidates for attorney general will debate at least two more times before November, giving Wisconsinites a few final chances to compare the top hopefuls.
The candidates, Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel and Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ, will have two scheduled debates.
The two additional debates will be held Oct. 12 and Oct. 29. Mike Gousha will host the first debate, which will be available for statewide broadcast. The Wisconsin State Bar Association, WISC-TV and WisPolitcs.com will host the latter debate in Madison.
“I look forward to explaining my plans to put public safety ahead of politics and allowing voters the opportunity to contrast that with the activist approach of my opponent,” Schimel said in a release.
Josh Lease, Happ’s campaign manager, said in a release they are also working with sponsors to confirm one additional debate.
“We’re anxious for the voters to be able to see the candidates side by side and compare their positions,” Lease said in the release.
