Secretary of state candidates to debate in Mitchell

Two candidates running for South Dakota secretary of state have committed to debate at a Daily Republic-sponsored event this weekend in Mitchell.
Jason Gant, a Republican, and Democrat Ben Nesselhuf were contacted Thursday and accepted invitations to attend The Daily Republic-Corn Palace Festival Debate, scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Corn Palace. The newspaper reached out to the candidates after canceling the gubernatorial debate planned for Saturday.
