All four candidates competing for Nevada’s 2nd U.S. House Congressional District are expected to participate in the debate scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday in Reno at the city’s California Building.
“The executive committee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 3819 (one of the debate sponsors), met at their regularly scheduled meetings and decided to invite all four candidates to the debate on Aug. 17.

The debate will be moderated by KRNV’s award-winning news anchor Joe Hart.
