Left to right: David Dillon, Ashwin Madia and Erik Paulsen are running for Congress in Minnesota's 3rd District. The seat is currently held by retiring U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad, R-Minn.
Independence Party candidate David Dillon was more combative.
"Well, excuse me for being so blunt, but what a bunch of baloney from both my opponents," Dillon said after hearing Madia and Paulsen share their thoughts on reforming Social Security.
Debate Minnesota organized the forum. The three candidates have one more debate, and it will air live on Minnesota Public Radio News. They appear together on Monday, Oct. 27 as part of Midday's "Meet the Candidates" series.
