The first debate between the Republican candidates for Congress in Minnesota's Second Congressional District has been scheduled for next month.

Republicans David Gerson, John Howe, Jason Lewis and Pam Myhra will all participate in a debate hosted by Republicans in Senate District 52 at Gateway Christian Church in Inver Grove Heights on November 19, 2015.

All four candidates are hoping to win the seat of Republican Congressman John Kline, who announced last month that he would not seek re-election to Congress next year.

Another debate for the Republican candidates has been tentatively scheduled for February 8, 2016 at Cannon Falls High School.

Two Democratic candidates, Angie Craig and Mary Lawrence, have both announced they are running for Congress.
