The Missouri Press Association and KOMU-8 are hosting a critical debate Friday among candidates running for Missouri governor in the Nov. 3 election.
The candidates in today's 2020 Gubernatorial Forum include Gov. Mike Parson, Republican; State Auditor Nicole Galloway, Democrat; Rik Combs, Libertarian; and Jerome Bauer, Green Party.
The forum will begin at 2 p.m. on Friday.
Viewers can watch the forum in the video player below, at https://mopress.com/forum/ or KOMU.com.
The Gubernatorial Forum was originally scheduled for late September as part of MPA's annual convention but it was postponed after Gov. Mike Parson tested positive for COVID-19.
