At 9:30 AM, we’re joined by Ray Hartmann for a wide-ranging conversation on the latest political trends shaping our region and beyond. Ray will share his perspective on what he’s seeing right now, how national and state-level developments are influencing local politics, and what voters should be paying attention to as the landscape continues to shift. It’s thoughtful analysis grounded in experience and context — the kind of conversation that helps make sense of a noisy political moment.
Then at 10:40 AM, Ben Julian joins us from Precision Point Armory to talk about current and upcoming training classes, skill development, and what participants can expect when they step into a Precision Point course. We’ll cover who the classes are designed for, why professional instruction matters, and how Precision Point continues to be a go-to resource for responsible, confidence-building training in the Riverbend.
A solid morning lineup focused on perspective, preparation, and staying informed.
