WSLM will continue broadcasting its slate of political debates with tonight’s second Indiana governor’s debate from 7-8p.

Democrat John Gregg, Republican Eric Holcomb and Libertarian Rex Bell will meet Monday evening at the University of Indianapolis for a live hour-long debate.

Holcomb, the current lieutenant governor, and former Indiana House Speaker Gregg didn’t confront each other much during an initial debate last week on education issues before an Indianapolis audience consisting mostly of high school students.

Gregg blamed Republican-backed school initiatives for Indiana’s teacher  shortages, while Holcomb argued the state isn’t alone in struggling to attract would-be educators.

The debate will be aired on WSLM 97.9 FM and WSLM 1220 AM.

After Monday evening, there’s one more debate scheduled, Oct. 25 at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville.

WSLM will also be carrying the live Vice-Presidential debate between Donald Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine, a Senator from Virginia and Hillary Clinton’s running mate.

Pence is a first term governor of Indiana who previously served over a decade in Congress.

Kaine is a former Democratic National Committee chairman who also served as governor of Virginia and mayor of Richmond.

The debate will air between 9-10:30p on WSLM 97.9 FM and WSLM 1220 AM.

Additional debates will be:

  • 2nd Presidential Debate – Sunday, Oct. 9 – 9-10:30p
  • Congressional Debate – Todd Young vs. Evan Bayh – Tuesday, Oct. 18 – 7-8p
  • 3rd Presidential Debate –  Wednesday, Oct. 19 – 9-10:30p
