Schuette, Whitmer to clash in final debate before election

Michigan gubernatorial candidates, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer and Republican Bill Schuette

Republican Bill Schuette and Democrat Gretchen Whitmer are set to meet for their final head-to-head debate less than two weeks before the election of Michigan's next governor.

Wednesday night's hour-long debate will be hosted and televised live by WDIV-TV in Detroit, with other outlets having the option to also carry the debate.

Schuette, the state attorney general, and Whitmer, a former legislative leader, held their first debate 12 days ago . They have sparred over taxes, health care and other issues in their race to succeed outgoing Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who is term-limited.
