3rd District Candidates To Debate

ST. PAUL (AP) ― Three candidates running to succeed Representative Jim Ramstad in Minnesota's 3rd District will face off for the first time on Thursday.

Democrat Ashwin Madia, Republican Erik Paulsen and Independence Party candidate David Dillon are set to debate at General Mills headquarters in Golden Valley.

The race in the western Minneapolis suburbs is seen as one of the top U.S. House contests this year.

The district is politically moderate. It's also the wealthiest, best-educated district in the state.

The Twin West Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the debate. Tickets are $25 for members and $35 for others.
