BILLINGS — Montana’s U.S. Senate candidates have agreed to a debate next month in Billings.
The one-hour debate between Democrat Amanda Curtis and Republican Steve Daines will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 20 at Montana State University Billings’ Petro Theater. It is scheduled to be broadcast by Montana Television Network stations and Yellowstone Public Radio. MSUB and the Gazette also are sponsors.
The state’s major party U.S. House candidates — Democrat John Lewis and Republican Ryan Zinke — earlier agreed to an Oct. 4 debate in Bozeman. The hour-long debate also is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. and will be aired on MTN stations.
A forum with Lewis will be held in Billings on Sept. 29. Zinke was invited but has said he will not participate.
