CU-Boulder will host a debate this fall among contenders for the Republican nomination for president of the United States.

Called “Your Money, Your Vote: The Presidential Debate on the Economy” and co-sponsored by CU and CNBC, the event is scheduled for Oct. 28 at the Coors Events Center on campus.

It is believed to be the first-ever presidential debate held at CU-Boulder and will be televised nationally.

Candidates will address jobs, taxes, the deficit and the economy generally, the university and CNBC said in a summer announcement.

At the time there were 16 major announced Republican candidates; many are expected to participate in the Republican Party-sanctioned primary debate.

Tickets will be available for students. At press time, organizers were still assessing how many total tickets would be available and how to distribute them.
