It will be the first in-person campaign meeting of Republican Gov. Mike Parson and Democrat and State Auditor Nicole Galloway.

Parson’s positive COVID-19 test on Sept. 23 upended his campaign and forced the cancellation of in-person events. The debate was postponed but is now scheduled to take place in Columbia at the Missouri Theatre.

Libertarian Rik Combs and the Green Party’s Jerome Howard Bauer also will participate in the event.
