NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — Republican Linda McMahon and Democratic Congressman Chris Murphy are meeting in their third of four debates in Connecticut's hotly contested U.S. Senate race.

The latest match-up is scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m. at the Garde Arts Center in New London.

The hour-long debate will be broadcast live on MyTV9 by WTNH-TV. It will also be live-streamed on www.theday.com and www.WTNH.com . Doors open at 5:45 p.m. and audience members must be in their seats by 6:45 p.m.

The debate is sponsored by The Day of New London, the Garde, WTNH and the Robinson & Cole law firm.
