Michael Bennet, Darryl Glenn to debate for first time at Club 20 event in Grand Junction

Two candidates for U.S. Senate from the Front Range will debate for the first time on the Western Slope next weekend.

Incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet of Denver will face off with Republican challenger Darryl Glenn, an El Paso County commissioner, at 8:15 p.m. Saturday at the Club 20 fall meeting at the Two Rivers Convention Center in Grand Junction.

The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported Thursday that the Libertarian candidate, Lily Tang Williams, will not be allowed to debate because the party failed to meet Club 20’s requirement of more than 1 percent of the state’s voters.

The race also includes Green party nominee Arn Menconi and Unity Party of Colorado candidate Bill Hammons.
