The debate between incumbent Democrat Kari E. Brandenburg and Republican challenger Lisa Torraco will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the board room at the chamber’s offices downtown at 115 Gold SW. The debate will be moderated by KOB newsman Stuart Dyson.

The event is free, but those who would like to attend should call 764-3763 or register online here.
