With less than a month to Election Day, the two top candidates vying for the Colorado governor’s seat squared off in a debate at Colorado State University. The debate took place Oct. 9 in the newly renovated theatre at CSU’s Lory Student Center and was televised live statewide on KUSA’s Channel 20.

The hour-long debate between Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican challenger, former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez, was co-hosted by KUSA/9News and the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
