OREM — Republican Utah Gov. Gary Herbert and Democrat Peter Corroon are set to debate for the fourth time this election season at Utah Valley University.

In previous debates, the focus has been on campaign finance reform and government ethics. Education is expected to take on a greater role at Wednesday's debate, which is sponsored by the university and the Utah Student Association.

Herbert and Corroon are vying to fill out the remainder of former Gov. Jon Huntsman's term, which expires in 2012. Huntsman resigned to become U.S. ambassador to China in August.

Herbert had been serving as Huntsman's lieutenant governor. Corroon is the mayor of Salt Lake County.
