ENDORSEMENT: Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld Supports John Kasich for President

Today Kasich for America announced that former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld has endorsed Governor John Kasich for President.

Governor Weld said: “I have known John Kasich for twenty years and he is a born executive. Being governor is the type of experience that prepares you to be President. John Kasich hasn’t just talked about balancing budgets and growing jobs, he’s actually done it. His tremendous record and results-oriented conservative leadership in Ohio is exactly what we need in the White House.”

Weld served as Massachusetts governor from 1991-1997. Prior to his service as governor, Weld served as a U.S. Attorney for five years and as head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division during President Reagan’s administration.

Governor Kasich said: “I have known Governor Weld for many years and respect his long commitment to serving our country.  It's an honor to have his support as we continue to grow our team and move deeper into the primary calendar.”

Gov. Kasich is running for President to help Americans restore our nation, live in safety and pass on prosperity to those who come after us—and he’s got the experience to help us do it. He was reelected last year by a 30-point margin after working with his fellow Ohioans to turn an $8 billion shortfall into a $2 billion surplus, cut taxes $5 billion and create more than 300,000 new private sector jobs.  As chair of the Budget Committee in Congress he led the effort to balance the federal budget for the first time in a generation and served 18 years on the House Armed Services Committee where he helped enact President Reagan's national security agenda.  He has also had a successful career as an investment banker, New York Times best-selling author and at FOX News.  He and his wife Karen have twin teenage daughters and live in their home outside Columbus. You can learn more about him at www.JohnKasich.com
