A debate between 3rd Congressional District candidates will headline today's 2006 Primary Candidate Expo at Utah Valley State College.

Candidates in six races will appear at the event, which is open to the public in the Grande Ballroom at UVSC's Sorensen Student Center.

The debate between 3rd District Congressional candidates Chris Cannon and John Jacob begins at 1 p.m. A CNN news crew will film the debate between five-term incumbent Chris Cannon and challenger John Jacob as the news organization prepares to explore America's illegal-immigration debate through the Republican primary in Utah.

Both Cannon, a five-term incumbent, and Jacob consider themselves strong on borders, but Jacob and national immigration restriction groups have attacked Cannon for promoting guest-worker program legislation that would allow many illegal immigrants to work toward visas and possibly citizenship.

Many see this Utah Republican primary as a test case for congressional elections decided in November in which immigration will be a key issue as Democrats attempt to regain 15 seats from Republican and retake control of the House of Representatives.
