Live Debate Tonight: Rep. Swedzinski and Challenger Studemann in 15A House Race

Tonight at 7:00 PM, the candidates for Minnesota House District 15A will participate in a debate at Southwest Minnesota State University.

Incumbent Rep. Chris Swedzinski and challenger Anthony Studemann will answer questions from a media panel and the audience in Charter Hall, room 201.

Swedzinski, a farmer from Ghent, is seeking his eighth term, focusing on issues like energy policy and taxes.

Studemann, a Marshall native, emphasizes community growth and investments in education, infrastructure, and emergency services. District 15A covers parts of Lyon, Yellow Medicine, and Chippewa Counties.

This debate offers a crucial opportunity for voters to learn more about the candidates' policy positions, their visions for the future of the district, and how they plan to address both local and statewide concerns. With both media professionals and community members asking questions, attendees can expect a lively and informative discussion covering a broad range of topics.

The outcome of this race will influence the direction of policies affecting southwest Minnesota, including agricultural interests, rural infrastructure, and local services.

Voters have the chance to make informed decisions by attending or following coverage of this key debate.
