Capitol Press will launch a new live debate series Monday at 9 p.m. Eastern, beginning with an appearance by Democratic leader Jordan Carter of Colorado and Republican Texas Gov. David Acton, according to a press release from the outlet.
The program is described as the first installment of a series intended to place public figures and lawmakers in direct debate over major current issues. Capitol Press said the event will stream live and encouraged viewers to tune in.
The release did not identify a moderator, list the topics expected to be discussed, or provide details on the format, duration, audience participation, or any rules governing the exchange.
Acton has recently drawn attention in Texas after signing a corporate-incentive law, according to prior reporting. The upcoming appearance will place him opposite Carter, a Democratic leader from Colorado, in a setting designed around partisan disagreement and public policy debate.
The series arrives during a politically tense and polarized national environment, where cost of living, immigration and executive power remain prominent concerns. Capitol Press did not say whether those issues would be included in Monday’s discussion.
As announced, the event is a media debate rather than a legislative proceeding. No policy action, formal vote or official government decision is tied to the program.
Capitol Press said additional editions of the series are planned, though it did not announce future participants or dates.
