MUNCIE — Three female GOP legislative candidates backed by far-right “Liberty” groups saw their campaigns to represent East Central Indiana in the Statehouse end on Primary Election Day. Former Jay County school teacher Brittany Bridges Kloer had included photos of herself on the campaign trail at target practice: an axe-throwing venue in Redkey and

My name is Kristopher H. Bilbrey and I'm a political commentator based out of Delaware County, Indiana. I cover politics on the local, state & national levels... I consider myself a "Constitutional Conservative" or a "Right-Leaning Libertarian"... I'm all about the common sense approach to politics and being an elected official! I have a political talk show called: "Perception IS Reality w/Kristopher H. Bilbrey" that can be found on ALL podcast hosting sites, simply by searching for the full name of the show.... or you can visit the home link @ perception.fireside.fm. New episodes air every Tuesday. All older episodes are always available for listening... the podcast is free! The podcast is audio only! However, I also release a separate program that I call [LIVE - 35] where I release live video commentary on Facebook 5 nights a week... Sunday through Thursday @ either 8:³⁵p or 9:³⁵p. It can be found @ facebook.com/Bilbrey318.
It is important to note: I consider myself "media", however, as a "political commentator" I do share my opinion... and therefore, I do not consider myself a journalist. While I work hard to deal in facts... I use my 28 plus years in politics and my life experiences, along with the information my sources provide, to form opinions that I then share! Because of this, I am free to actively work with & for candidates... and one of those candidates I have recently worked with, was Brittany Kloer (a Conservative, Republican) that ran in the *June 2020 Primary Election & the May 2022 Primary Election for State Representative in District 33. Her opponent was current incumbent, Representative JD Prescott.
And before going further, I want to state that I did work for JD Prescott's campaign in 2018 when he was a first time candidate running for the open Dist 33 seat against Democrat Shon Byrum (who was running for the open Dist 33 but was, at that time, Mayor of Winchester, IN). I helped JD get elected in 2018... and he quickly proved to me and many others that it was a mistake... helping him get elected! And after watch the horrible way JD would act as State Representative... in 2019 I vowed to work against in to get him beat.
In 2020, I was preoccupied with several other elections... but after that Primary I knew we would have to work hard to beat him. In the Fall of 2021 I met with Brittany & Brandon Kloer and I quickly realized Brittany was the best candidate for the Dist 33 seat. I signed on to assist her and her team in any way possible.
Seth, you didn't interview or attempt to interview Brittany ahead of the May 2022 election... and only reached out to Brittany after it was over. Brittany DID NOT refuse to respond... but just more or less, said the way you went about it seemed counterproductive. She emailed you back telling you that I would be replying on her behalf... and that's what the next portion of this post is... my response to your email to Brittany after the May 2022 Primary Election. I'm answering on behalf of "Team Kloer". The response below was approved by Brittany and the rest of the team.
It is in response to your email sent to her within the last couple of weeks. I emailed you this response on 05.26.22.
The following statement is prepared by myself, Kristopher H. Bilbrey, on behalf of Team Kloer... in response to questions sent via email to Brittany Kloer by Seth Slabaugh... reference her 2022 Campaign for State Representative of Indiana's House District 33.
Start>>>
Seth,
Thank you for reaching out to the Kloer Campaign… this is Kristopher H. Bilbrey, responding on behalf of Brittany and the Campaign. She is aware of this response and this will serve as the official response to your email.
You stated that you read in a couple other publications that Brittany was “a part of the liberty movement seeking to have more conservative (officials) in office.” And while that might be a very generic overview of her campaign, from an outsider’s perspective, we did not see it that way, and we don’t believe many others did either.
The Liberty Defense PAC picked Brittany - they endorsed her, which we were pleased with. We talked (and continue to talk) frequently with those individuals and share a lot of the same beliefs. However, we must set straight your (or anyone else’s) belief that Brittany was focused on ANYTHING other than improving the lives of the citizens in District 33. That was/is/and will always be her only goal!
Brittany is and has always been a “conservative republican!” However, her campaign for this office is and has been about trying to improve the communication between the State Representative and the citizens of District 33, which has been lacking under current Representative Prescott. In both the 2020 election and this most recent election, Brittany worked to fight for better transparency within the District, when it comes to what the State Representative is doing. Moving forward she will absolutely continue that mission. Representative Prescott does not have a good track record of being open and transparent as a Representative, and that isn’t just “campaign talk”. To say that JD hasn’t communicated well or been open and transparent throughout his 2 terms is, honestly, an understatement. He has really latched on to the idea of “submarine style campiagnining”, and he has allowed that to follow over into his actual service as an elected official. This most recent campaign was no different. He has always tried to control the audience, the message and who gets it and how. This does not make for a good Representative. And just because he is able to buy & lie his way into victory does not make that any less true!
As far as other losses for the “liberty movement” all that can be said is, the continued winnings of the “Establishment Republicans” haven’t done anything truly amazing for Hoosiers! We have an “Establishment Republican SuperMajority” that campaigns on the same promises every 2 & 4 years, and after they win and take office, nothing comes of their “campaign promises.” However, in 2 to 4 years they are back with those same tired “promises.” Eventually, we believe, enough people will get so fed up with it, and they will be so tired of nothing ever changing, that all the lies and money in the world wont buy victory anymore.
We don’t look at the “movement’s” losses as complete flops, however. They certainly aren’t! A look at the Finance Reports will show the “Establishment” more or less had to throw every dime they had into this election, and that is definitely a win! The “movement” is building and will, more than likely, be stronger next election. More importantly, however, will be the fact that, everyday, common sense Hoosiers will continue to see that the “same ol, same ol” really just doesn’t cut it. They will be more engaged, some will run campaigns, others will be active working for other candidates, and yet others will donate and most importantly vote for the other person to get rid of the “Establishment”.
In Brittany’s race she is closing the gap quickly on Mr. Prescott and in another 2 years even more people will be turned off by his inability to actually be a “Representative”. It’s like he doesn’t have a grasp on what the word actually means.
As far as calling the “liberty movement a dud”, we honestly just don’t see it as such. And Brittany’s campaign was the furthest thing from a dud. Did you know that JD runs, not on being a moderate, like you have said, but rather on being a “christian, conseravtive, republican”... when he speaks, you’d think he was someone the “liberty movement” would like and support. The issue is, however, he is simply speaking words. His actions do not line up with those words. And where we come from, that is often called lying. Which is 100% what he decided to do in his last one or two mailers that went out before election day. That was able to help push those “low information” voters in his direction. However, a good portion of the District, and his home county, specifically, know JD to be just that a liar. And when someone can not win fairly, lying sometimes is what they pick to do. Sadly that is the direction he picked.
Lastly, Brittany is “fierce”! You called her that in your email… that is correct! She is a fierce defender of the United States and Indiana Constitutions! She wants Indiana to be the best it can be! We will not engage in conversation about how she is or isn’t seen with a “gun” given the fact that would never be asked of a male republican. Brittany is a citizen just as JD is and the rest of us. She loves the 2nd Amendment, just as she does the 4th, and the 5th, and the 1st… and all the rest! And what JD and/or any other elected official needs to know is… no matter if it is “as a candidate”… or as “the most important role in American government and society… THE CITIZEN”, Brittany and those around her will continue to fight for the Constitutions of Indiana & America. We will demand openness, transparency and communication from those in power! And, if or when, they are not acting proper… she & we… will be there!
If you have any follow up, please do not hesitate to contact me…
I went to high school with this guy, he is a total loser... sad that he has dedicated his life to trying to take away other peoples' rights and forcing his creepy religion down our throats... still a loser Kris! keep up the good work... lol
We need more articles like this one BEFORE the November election. We need to have more information about the people running for offices.
