The first debate between Gardner and Hickenlooper took place virtually at Pueblo Community College last Friday, monitored by the editor of the Pueblo Chieftain.
Topics discussed include the Affordable Care Act, replacing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and their top priorities for reopening Colorado after the pandemic.
Both campaigns have challenged one another to a series of debates, but the sides have been unable to agree on most of them so far.
The Colorado U.S. Senate race is among the most closely-watched races in the country this year as Republicans work to keep their Senate majority and Democrats try to retain their House majority and win back the Senate.
