Each County Republican Party Central Committee (PC’s & Vice PC’s) in Indiana will have a Reorganization Meeting the first Saturday in March to reorganize their Central Committee Officers by electing: 1- Chairman, 2- Vice Chairman, 3- Treasurer, and 4- Secretary.
RAINS will hold an endorsing convention to potentially endorse a candidate for each of the four offices for each county that participates. The RAINS convention will be the Saturday before the reorganization meetings. Specifically February 22nd, 2025 at 10:00 AM.
Meeting will be held at: CityGate Indiana, 320 Eagle Crest Drive, Suite C, Evansville, IN. 47715.
Only RAINS members will be eligible to vote.
Republican Precinct Committeeman (PCs) and Vice PCs are encouraged to attend as an opportunity to get to know the candidates.
Candidates will each be given 10 minutes to speak. Candidates are encouraged to leave the last two minutes for questions. RAINS Members and guest PC’s / Vice-PC’s will be the people able to ask questions. Members have priority.
If you know of candidates running for any of these reorganization offices. Please encourage them to seek a RAINS endorsement. If you are running for one of these offices, then please contact a RAINS board member or email us at: republicans@rains8.com
At present RAINS only has in district members from 3 local counties. Vanderburgh, Warrick and Posey. So at present, we are limiting endorsements to those counties.
If you are endorsed, our endorsements will be posted on our web page and social media accounts. Our membership would be encouraged to contact PC’s and Vice PC’s to vote for our endorsed candidates. Only one candidate, if any, will be endorsed for each office.
Hope to see all our RAINS members there.
