TPT's Almanac will feature a debate between the DFL enodrsed candidate Margaret Anderson Kelliher and DFL challengers Mark Dayton and Matt Entenza. The forum will be recorded on Thursday night and will air on Friday. TPT will also feature a debate between the Independence Party candidates for governor. Tom Horner, who has I-P backing, will square off against Rob Hahn.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and the Brainerd Lakes Chamber of Commerce are announcing that they have scheduled a candidate debate on August 17th. It could be the first time the DFL, GOP and I-P candidates square off after the August 10th primary. The chamber has extended invitations to each candidate. One caveat is that the candidates have to receive at least 15-percent support in a major, independent poll within 30 days of the primary election.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
