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.

CU is co-hosting the event with cable news channel CNBC, which will broadcast the debate nationally.

Officials have not announced which candidates in the crowded GOP field will participate. A total of 15 prominent Republicans have announced their candidacy so far for the 2016 election.

The debate in Colorado is one of nine confirmed Republican primary debates scheduled between August and next spring, according to the national party website. Three additional Republican debates are also being considered.

Unlike a state Republican convention held in the spring of 2014 at the event center, concealed weapons will not be permitted at the presidential debate, according to campus spokesman Ryan Huff.
