A herd of Republican presidential hopefuls will make a rare trip deep into the People's Republic of Boulder when the University of Colorado hosts an economy-themed GOP debate this fall.
The debate, titled "Your Money, Your Vote: The Presidential Debate on the Economy," is scheduled for the evening of Oct. 28 in the Coors Event Center and will focus on economic issues such as jobs, taxes, the deficit and the health of the U.S. economy.

The campus, often perceived as a left-leaning academic hub, has been working to bring more political diversity to Boulder in recent years. A recent survey found that just 6 percent of CU-Boulder faculty members and 16 percent of students identified as Republican.
Republican Regent Sue Sharkey, who has made political diversity at the Boulder campus a focus during her tenure on the board, said the upcoming debate will expose students to conservative candidates and their ideas.
"I hope that our students are going to get that diversity of dialogue because obviously Boulder and CU have that stereotype of being liberal," said Sharkey, who lives in Castle Rock.
