2015 Gubernatorial Debate

The League of Women Voters of Kentucky hosts a debate between the two frontrunners in the race for Kentucky governor with co-sponsors Eastern Kentucky University and CBS affiliates WLKY-TV of Louisville and WKYT-TV of Lexington. Republican Matt Bevin and Democrat Jack Conway have agreed to participate at the event. WKYT anchor and political editor Bill Bryant and WLKY anchor Vicki Dortch will lead the hour-long discussion of key issues impacting Kentuckians. League policy will be followed.

"Eastern Kentucky University and our Center for the Arts are proud to partner with the Kentucky League of Women Voters, WKYT and its broadcast partners across the Commonwealth to provide voters the opportunity to hear directly from our gubernatorial candidates. The EKU Center is an ideal venue to host such events, and we look forward to hosting many more in the years to come." -Michael Benson, EKU President
