GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — On Tuesday evening, former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican, and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat, will go head-to-head as they try to win votes to replace U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow who is retiring at the end of this term.

A coin toss before the debate determined who has the opening and closing comments. Slotkin will begin the debate with her opening statement and Rogers will receive the first question. At the end of the debate, Rogers will have the final comment.

News 8 took question submissions from viewers and will narrow the pool to ask Slotkin and Rogers about the pertinent issues that will affect you and your family.

Each candidate will receive the same questions and have 60 seconds to respond. After both candidates have answered they will have 30 seconds of rebuttal time in the same sequence. Based on the timing of the debate, the final question may only include an answer with no rebuttal.

The debate will air at 7 p.m. on WOOD TV8 and stream on woodtv.com. It will also simulcast across the country on NewsNation, the national cable news network of WOOD TV8’s corporate owner Nexstar Media, and be carried on stations across Michigan:

The debate will be moderated by News 8 political reporter Rick Albin and News 8 anchor Amber Krycka.
