(St. Louis Public Radio) - Missouri's gubernatorial candidates have agreed to debate next week at the University of Missouri-Columbia, but no other debates have been scheduled yet.

Republican Congressman Kenny Hulshof and Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon agreed to a 3:15 p.m. debate on Sept. 11.

The Columbia debate is being sponsored by the Missouri Press Association in conjunction with the 100th anniversary celebration of the University of Missouri's journalism school.

Nixon said he will participate in three other debates, a radio debate in Kansas City; a TV debate broadcast in St. Louis and Kansas City; and a TV debate in Springfield.

Hulshof also wants to hold an additional mid-Missouri debate and one in Cape Girardeau. © Copyright 2009, St. Louis Public Radio
