LOS ANGELES—Former first lady Nancy Reagan said yesterday that she was inviting the leading GOP candidates to the first-ever debate at her husband’s library in Simi Valley.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library plans to host the debate on May 3. It will feature questions submitted through a Web site.

“Ronnie always hoped the library would be a place where policymakers will debate the future,” Nancy Reagan said in a statement. “This presidential debate provides the opportunity to fulfill his wishes.”
