In 2020 during the world-wide Covid 19 pandemic, Rainwater, a libertarian, was nominated by the Libertarian Party of the State of Indiana to run for Governor. And while he made a major impact on the election, unfortunately he came up short. Rainwater has remained active in local and state politics and in 2024, he was again, nominated by his party to be the Libertarian Candidate for Governor of the State of Indiana.

Rainwater is running on a promise to make Indiana State Government smaller, more efficient, and more tolerant.

When elected as Governor, he will strive to do the following:

• Reduce your overall tax burden by eliminating state individual income tax and the personal property tax on your primary residence. . .

• Reduce regulations and licensing that stifles the growth of small business. . .

• Reform criminal justice and invigorate our economy through decriminalization and legalization of all forms of cannabis in Indiana. . .

• And much more!
