Chamber cancels congressional debate for 3rd District
The next debate scheduled in Minnesota's hotly contested 3rd District race has been canceled.
The Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce organized the early morning forum to be held on Monday, Oct. 6. DFLer Ashwin Madia, Republican Erik Paulsen and Independence Party candidate David Dillon all agreed to attend, but the chamber has canceled the debate because it couldn't sell enough tickets.
The event, which included breakfast, would have cost $25 for chamber members and $40 for non-members.
There are four other debates still on the schedule. Three are broadcast live by various media outlets. There is only one, sponsored by Debate Minnesota, which interested voters can watch in person. Here are the details:
