    In this 762nd episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey begins with a brief recap of the Muncie City Council meeting that concluded a short while ago (Monday evening, November 2, 2026).

    Then... it's time to look toward tomorrow!

    It's General Election Day Eve, and after months of campaigning, candidates, controversies, questions, forums, interviews, and political nonsense, the 2026 MIDTERM ELECTION is finally here.

    Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondents Rachel Clark and Ryan Reese to the program to discuss the races, issues, and political atmosphere, and what they'll be watching as voters head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

    It's almost over!

    All that's left is for voters to have their say!

    It all comes down to this!

    Let's roll!

    2026/11/02
    Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey kicks off the 761st episode of The Political Spotlight, welcoming Jim Nicholson, the Republican candidate for Henry County Sheriff, to the show. Nicholson currently serves as a Captain with the New Castle Police Department, where he has served for 36 years, including 8 as Chief. This is Nicholson's second run for Sheriff; he ran four years ago and lost the primary to the current lame-duck Sheriff John M. Sproles. Bilbrey and Nicholson discuss the campaign, Nicholson's views on Henry County's current state, and his plans for the county if elected. Connect with Nicholson on social media at the following links: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587574460100 . . . After the interview, Bilbrey again shares that he feels underwhelmed by nearly everyone running for office in the 2026 midterm general election, which is just two days away. Bilbrey is ready to put this election behind him and look ahead to the 2027 municipal elections, which he believes could have a much greater impact on local politics and government across East Central Indiana. Bilbrey then looks ahead to the Muncie City Council meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, November 2, 2026. He reviews the agenda and notes that it appears to be a relatively quiet meeting. Lastly, Bilbrey shares a few quick thoughts on the Delaware-Muncie Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals, which met last Thursday, October 29, 2026. At that meeting, the McKinley Neighborhood and Mayor Dan Ridenour's administration once again found themselves on opposite sides of this important issue. Bilbrey believes this was merely the opening round of a much larger fight in the months ahead. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ VIDEO version of Ep 761: https://youtube.com/live/QJTKWZ99lqw ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Subscribe: https://bit.ly/subTPS Become a Member: https://bit.ly/MembershipTPS Merch: https://bit.ly/Spotlight_Merch ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Political Spotlight Airs LIVE (Sunday — Thursday at 9 p.m. ET) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePoliticalSpotlight Audio Podcast: https://ThePoliticalSpotlight.fireside.fm & All Other Podcast Hosting Sites ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Connect with The Political Spotlight team on social media: Facebook 1: https://www.facebook.com/Bilbrey318 Facebook 2: https://www.facebook.com/PoliticalSpotlight318 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ThePoliticalSpotlight Twitter: https://x.com/BilbreyLIVE Email: tpsprogram@gmail.com ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚨🚨🚨 'The Political Spotlight' LIVE Sunday - Thursday @ 9 p.m. (ET) Hosted by: Kristopher H.

    2026/10/31

    Welcome to the 760th episode of The Political Spotlight, broadcasting LIVE on this special Friday night, October 30, 2026!

    Normally, Fridays are off nights around here, but after missing Thursday night's show, we're making it up—with only THREE MORE WAKE-UPS until the 2026 midterm election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

    And since it's been nearly two months since everyone's favorite doctor to love, hate, hate to love, or love to hate appeared on the program, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey figured there was no better time to bring Dr. Katherine Callahan back into the spotlight.

    Bilbrey and Callahan discuss what she has cooking in her neck of the woods, where things stand with just days to go before the BIG VOTE, and everything else happening in Indiana politics as Election Day approaches.

    And, of course, they return to one of the best political philosophies in the state of Indiana:

    "It's better to be a Republican in bad standing than to stand with a bad Republican!"

    Bilbrey and Callahan dive into it all—politics, candidates, party loyalty, accountability, Election Day, and whatever else comes up.

    You will NOT want to miss this episode. That is a promise!

  • #759 | Wednesday, October 28, 2026 | The Political Spotlight
    2026/10/29

    The 2027 race for Muncie mayor has officially begun—or has it? Just kidding, it has... Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey will explain!

    This 759th episode of The Political Spotlight opens with the biggest local political development in a while: well-known businessman and Muncie Southside wrestling star Gary Myers has announced plans to run for mayor of Muncie in the 2027 municipal election.

    Myers is the first to publicly announce his intention to run for mayor of Muncie in the 2027 municipal election, and the announcement quickly spread throughout Muncie and Delaware County.

    However, the rollout was a bit confusing.

    Myers' original post initially limited comments, then disappeared altogether. He later said he had accidentally deleted the post, confirmed he is running, and said another announcement would follow.

    Bilbrey shares his initial thoughts on Myers entering the race, what it could mean for Muncie politics, and why the announcement and the news of the announcement may mark the beginning of a new chapter in how The Political Spotlight approaches politics from here on.

    From there, Bilbrey reviews the City of Muncie Board of Works meeting held this morning, Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 9 a.m.

    Bilbrey also checks in on the Henry Township Advisory Board's emergency makeup meeting, held earlier this afternoon. All board members were present, and a township resident was on hand to "redress" those on the board.

    2026/10/28

    In this 758th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey examines the latest developments in Henry County after a special prosecutor filed criminal charges on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, against former Henry County Sheriff's Sergeant Ryan Burns.

    Burns faces the following charges:

    — Theft, a Class A misdemeanor. . .

    — Fraud, a Level 6 felony. . .

    — Official Misconduct, a Level 6 felony. . .

    — Ghost Employment, a Level 6 felony. . .

    Henry County Sheriff John Sproles later issued a statement announcing Burns's arrest and resignation from the Henry County Sheriff's Department.

    Bilbrey breaks down these developments, shares his thoughts on what may come next, and turns his attention to another major unanswered question:

    What happens to Sgt. Bobby Lackey, the other HCSD sergeant on paid leave for the past 5-plus months?

    From there, Bilbrey works through other political and governmental odds and ends.

    2026/10/27

    Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey is back in the studio after attending the AMA/Data Center Town Hall in Delaware County.

    (The event was livestreamed here on The Political Spotlight; those interested can watch the Town Hall event here: https://youtube.com/live/4JZJL0EfTPw . . .)

    In this 757th episode of The Political Spotlight, Bilbrey examines what happened at the AMA/Data Center Town Hall.

    — Where does everything stand?

    — Were any new details learned?

    — What questions remain unanswered?

    — And, most importantly, what happens next?

    With the 2026 midterm general election just over a week away, Bilbrey has MAJOR concerns about Hoosiers who have requested mail-in ballots.

    If you have requested an absentee ballot by mail in Indiana, you will want to hear this discussion.

    This is an IMPORTANT topic you will not want to miss!

    Lastly, Bilbrey has an update on his request for records related to the Muncie Police body camera footage of the officer who shot a dog that was acting aggressively.

    2026/10/26

    In this 756th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey welcomes John Bartlett to the program.

    Bartlett is the Democratic challenger to incumbent State Representative J.D. Prescott in Indiana House District 33, which includes Blackford and Randolph Counties and portions of Delaware, Henry, and Jay Counties.

    Bartlett makes his case to District 33 voters, explaining why he believes they should support him during early voting or on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

    Bartlett's Facebook page:
    https://www.facebook.com/BartlettForIN

    From there, Bilbrey shifts gears and begrudgingly turns to the past couple of days' nonsense—once again arguing that the public seems eager to get involved, though not always in what matters most.
