Holly Duchmann moderates a debate at the Baton Rouge Press Club on September 25, 2023, between the three candidates for Louisiana State Treasurer, former Congressman John Fleming (R), State Representative Scott McKnight (R), and financial advisor Dusin Granger (D). The debate begins with each candidate’s opening statement. Members of the press then ask the candidates questions on the following topics: ESG investing; ensuring revenue streams to pay back bonds; the state’s insurance crisis; their experience in managing other people’s money; State Treasurer John Schroder’s job performance; and hedge funds. The candidates then ask each other a question. The debate ends with each candidate’s closing statement.
