The two candidates will discuss the issues that matter most to the district, from local economic concerns to national policy priorities. The debate is part of the campaign cycle for the upcoming congressional election.

Kennedy, a member of the Republican Party, and Larsen, a Democrat, will be joined by a moderator to explore their differing visions for the region and the country. The event is scheduled to be broadcast live, providing voters with an opportunity to hear each candidate’s positions directly.
