Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and Democratic challenger Fred Hubbell have agreed to three gubernatorial debates leading up to November's election.

The debates will take place in Des Moines, Sioux City and Davenport in October. All three debates will be hosted by Iowa news organizations.

“We look forward to this opportunity to discuss the issues important to Iowans, and appreciate the invitation from the sponsors,” Reynolds and Hubbell said in a joint statement, according to the news release. “With this agreement, Iowans across the state will have access to a vigorous debate about the future of Iowa.”

The campaigns took a while to come to agreement; last week, they sent out separate news releases each agreeing to three debates. But only one of the debate dates was on the same day.

The current debate schedule is:

Oct. 10

The Des Moines Register and KCCI

Time: 7-8 p.m.

Location: Des Moines

Oct. 17

KTIV, KTTC and KWWL

Time: 7-8 p.m.

Location: Sioux City

Oct 21

KCRG, KWQC and the Quad City Times

Time: 8-9 a.m.

Location: Davenport

Libertarian candidate Jake Porter said Monday on Twitter that he was not included in the three debates.

"While this is true, we are still in negotiations and discussions," Porter said. "This is not over yet."
