In this 769th episode of The Political Spotlight, Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey takes a closer look at the upcoming SPECIAL MEETING of the Muncie City Council, set for Monday, November 16, 2026, at 7 p.m. Bilbrey shares what he's hearing from sources and discusses a recent Facebook comment by Muncie City Councilor Nora Powell (D-District 2). Bilbrey then shares his thoughts on the resignation of the Indiana Republican Party Chair, Lana Keesling, which came this afternoon, Thursday, November 12, 2026, just nine days after Republicans' disastrous showing in the 2026 midterm election, locally, statewide, and nationally. From there, Bilbrey continues to express his disappointment that the recent election and the message it sent haven't seemed to do much for local GOP organizations. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
