Join Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey as he welcomes Craig Ring, Republican candidate for Henry County Sheriff, to the show. Ring is a lifelong resident of Henry County. He is one of two candidates in this race who are not currently, nor have ever been, law enforcement officers. He has said he is running because of well-known issues with the current elected sheriff and the sheriff's department's operations under that leadership. Bilbrey and Ring discuss the campaign, Ring's views on Henry County's current state, and Ring's plans for the sheriff's department if elected. After the interview, Bilbrey provides a brief update on what has been learned over the past 24 hours since the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday, April 25, 2026. #ThePoliticalSpotlight
