The 2026 midterm election cycle starts in less than 60 days (as of the initial broadcast of this episode: Sunday, November 9, 2025). However, that doesn't mean the campaigning hasn't already begun! The question then becomes: Is everything being done correctly? And what's all the fuss about Madison County Council's "newbie" Councilor Jonathan Culp? Has he really been using his county position to campaign for a higher seat, just 11 months into his first term as Councilor? What committee is he using to campaign? What will his campaign finance reports show? And has he really been buying votes? Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey welcomes contributing correspondent Dr. Katherin Callahan to the show to help break everything down! This will be an episode you won't want to miss! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
