ENDORSEMENT: Michigan Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley Supports John Kasich for President
Today,
Michigan Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley endorsed Gov. John Kasich for
president and joined the Kasich for America leadership team in
Michigan.
Said
Calley, "There is no one in this race who is better-equipped or
better-suited to lead our nation than Gov. John Kasich. His
conservative, commonsense reforms have
restored hope in Ohio, and they will restore hope in America. With a
leader like John Kasich who will balance the federal budget and help
businesses create jobs, there is no limit to the growth we can achieve
in our states and communities. I'm proud to support Gov. Kasich for
president and join my friends and colleagues on his extensive state
leadership team here in Michigan."
In
2011, Calley entered office as America's youngest lieutenant governor.
He has played a notably active role in the Snyder administration,
promoting Michigan's 2011 tax reform package, autism insurance reform
and other policy reforms around the state. Calley previously served as
a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011.
Said
Kasich, “I'm honored to receive the endorsement of one of Michigan's
top public officials in these crucial days leading up to the state's
primary election. Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley is an active,
highly-respected leader and advocate for autism and other important
issues that the people of Michigan face. It's a major win for our
Michigan team to have his political expertise and ties in our corner."

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 400,000 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
