‘Survivor’ star Rupert Boneham leans toward Libertarian run for Ind. governor
“Rupert Boneham — a reality TV star and local advocate for at-risk young adults — said he’ll wait until Saturday to announce whether he is running for governor,” the Evansville (Ind.) Courier & Press reports. “In a conversation last week with the Franklin College Statehouse Bureau, the Libertarian hinted that he’s leaning toward a yes…”
Boneham tells reporters his experience managing his charity, Rupert’s Kids, gives him the experience to properly manage Indiana government.
“You can lead by example. When I come in the governor’s office and the first day I drop the governor’s pay and the governor’s salary by a quarter and the governor’s budget by a quarter and I look at everyone in administration and I say, ‘What are you going to do? We’re cutting some of the administration in our government. We’re stopping some of the wasteful spending that we are doing.’”
