Kasich for America Files to Appear on Hawaii Ballot

 

Marilia Duffles (2nd from left) & Former U.S. Rep. Charles Djou (2nd from right) file Gov. John Kasich's ballot paperwork with officials from the Hawaii Republican Party.

 

 

On Friday, Governor John Kasich's presidential campaign filed the necessary paperwork to appear on the Hawaii Republican primary ballot and announced its Hawaii leadership team. 

 

Former congressman Charles Djou will serve as chair of Gov. Kasich's Hawaii leadership team.

 

Said Djou, "Voters are looking for a leader with a proven history of producing results. John Kasich is that leader. He has a constructive, realistic plan to turn the economy around and strengthen our national security. He has the experience and talent to bring unity to America in a time of deep division."

 

Djou represented Hawaii's 1st congressional district from 2010 to 2011. He has also served in the State House of Representatives and on the Honolulu City Council.

 

Marilia Duffles and Jon Kunimura also joined the governor's leadership team as state co-chairs. 

 

Said Governor Kasich, "I look forward to continuing to build upon our strong team in Hawaii as we approach the Republican caucus in March. Charles Djou has a deep understanding of what matters to voters in Hawaii and will be a great asset to our team as we expand our ground operations."
