Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey welcomes longtime friend (and politico) Rachel Clark and her daughter, Ryan Reese (an up-and-coming politico), to the show—LIVE from Mud Creek Studio—to discuss the upcoming 2026 Primary Election (Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.). The trio will share their thoughts on the past four-plus months of campaigning, including the ups and downs, the good, the bad, and the completely ignorant! They'll share their wishes for who they want to see win various positions across several counties and at the state and national levels. Then they'll offer their predictions for who they believe will win in the various races. This midterm election will come and go like many others, without much fanfare nationally. However, locally (in several counties) and at the state level here in Indiana, this primary election is one of the most important elections voters and non-voters alike have faced! Tune in to this 655th episode of 'The Political Spotlight' for the best political commentary ahead of the upcoming 2026 Primary Election. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

Many people have been discussing the incident that occurred on Saturday, January 10, 2026, involving an off-duty Henry County Sheriff's Deputy and two Henry County citizens (Amy & Brian Bell).

Bilbrey will then show a video that has NOT BEEN SEEN BEFORE. What it shows should make people question even more, "what went on during the traffic stop." This is just PART 1... there will be a follow-up PART 2 to this episode! But this episode should set the stage for many questions. And you can take it to the bank that Bilbrey will be searching for the answers! He will share them with everyone when he gets them. #ThePoliticalSpotlight

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
