LOWELL (AP) — U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and his Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren have agreed to a debate in September at UMass Lowell.
Sponsors UMass Lowell and The Boston Herald announced the debate last night.
David Gregory of NBC's "Meet The Press" will moderate the one-hour session Sept. 27 at the university's Tsongas Center. Gregory will present questions and UMass Lowell students can also ask questions from the audience.
Other Massachusetts students are being invited to attend and the public can participate via social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
UMass Lowell Chancellor Marty Meehan says the event "offers an important opportunity to educate and engage our students in the electoral process."
Herald publisher Patrick Purcell says participants can "hear firsthand a conversation" about issues important to the state.
