Thoreen and Ingebrigtsen to be on TV tonight

Pioneer Public Television, in cooperation with the Willmar area League of Women Voters, will air a “Meet the Candidates” forum tonight, Thursday, featuring Minnesota State Senate candidates from District 11.

District 11 DFL candidate Jim Thoreen of Morris and Republican candidate (incumbent) Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, are scheduled to appear live beginning at 8 p.m.

The forums are being aired on Thursday evenings to provide constituents an opportunity to hear candidates in an unbiased setting.

Moderated by Amy Doll-Wohlers, viewers are invited to phone their questions to Pioneer at 1-800-726-3178 during each program or e-mail at yourtv@pioneer.org.

General Manager Les Heen said, “The vast regions of our rural districts make it difficult for voters to see their candidates side by side. The Meet the Candidate setting is a perfect opportunity for Pioneer to help educate everyone before the elections in November.”

The candidate forum series is made possible with financial support from the League of Rural Voters.
