About this Episode

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.
