U.S. Rep. Ron Kind has agreed to include Libertarian Kevin Barrett in campaign debates later this year.
Barrett, a 9/11 skeptic from Lone Rock, announced his candidacy Monday in Sparta just before Kind held a listening session.
In the hallway, Kind and Barrett spoke amicably, and Barrett asked about debating. Kind replied, â??Iâ??m sure we will during the course of the campaign. Absolutely. I usually look forward to those as the year progresses.â?
Barrett issued a statement later saying his respect for Kind â??just went up a couple notches,â? and called it a breakthrough for the â??Libertarian party and the 9/11 truth movement.â?
