Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey shares his thoughts on the big news from the Indiana State House! That's right, the Indiana State Senate met today, and in a vote of 19 YEAS (in favor) to 31 NAYS (against), they (10 Democrats and 21 Republicans for very different reasons) rejected mid-decade congressional redistricting. There is, of course, a lot to discuss about everything that happened both during and after, and Bilbrey shares all the essential information here. Then, to bring it closer to home, Richard Ivy has announced his plans to run for Indiana's State House District 34, currently held by Democrat Sue Errington. That means the Republicans will have a primary choice to make in that race. It has long been believed that this term would be her last, but, to our knowledge, she has not yet confirmed that; however, there have been rumors that another Democrat has been considering or has been considered to take Sue's place. Bilbrey will discuss that as well! And lastly, Bilbrey heads to Winchester, Randolph County, Indiana, for what??? Well, to talk about sex crimes and an arrest for Possession of Child Pornography... WHAT ELSE? It's Winchester, Randolph County! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
