Questions for the Indiana Debate Commission's U.S. Senate debate will come almost entirely from Hoosiers.

The Indiana Debate Commission is calling on Hoosiers to send in questions for the state’s U.S. Senate candidates.

The questions can be used in next month’s Senate debate.

U.S. Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), Democratic candidate Mayor Tom McDermott and Libertarian James Sceniak will meet in a debate on Oct. 16, sponsored by the Indiana Debate Commission.

While it will be moderated by University of Indianapolis political scientist Laura Wilson, the questions will almost entirely come from voters, as is typical of a Debate Commission event.
