ENDORSEMENT: Former Mississippi Director for Ben Carson Endorses John Kasich

Today, Daniel Ashford, the former Mississippi director for Dr. Ben Carson’s presidential campaign, endorsed John Kasich for president and joined the Kasich for America leadership team.
 
"I believe in John Kasich because he represents the best chance to defeat Hillary Clinton and progressivism this year,” Ashford said. “He has a proven record that could save my generation from socialism and economic collapse."
 
Daniel is a resident of Madison, Mississippi. He is a junior at the University of Alabama and previously worked on the campaign for Governor Phil Bryant.
 
Said Kasich, “I am very thankful to have Daniel Ashford’s support. He is a dedicated, conservative leader and he understands that to defeat Hillary Clinton we need a positive, solutions-driven message that empowers everyone— not Washington bureaucrats. He will be a great asset to our team in Mississippi.”

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

ICYMI: Prominent Mississippian Megan Mullen Supports John Kasich

The wife of Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen has supported John Kasich for years

Starkville, Mississippi 
 

Mullen attended Kasich’s event in Jackson last week. Dan Mullen tweeted a picture of the two from his account that has more than 95,000 followers. She campaigned last week through local radio stations and continues to this week heading into Mississippi’s primary  Tuesday.

 

“It’s hard to find role models a lot,” Mullen said. “Dan and I are in the sports world and we know so many pro athletes and college athletes. We’ve been blessed to meet a lot of people. (Kasich) is probably without question, one of the most special people out there. There’s not another one out there like him. I know there’s not another one like him running.”

 

Mississippi votes as part of four primaries on Tuesday.

 

The Ohio governor holds more high-profile endorsements from Mississippians than any Republican candidate, including former and current state senators and members of Congress.

 

Add one more to the list.

 

“He’s put a lot of weight into how he does in Mississippi,” Mullen said. “I think it’s kind of funny that nine years go by, somehow I end up living in Starkville, Mississippi, and John Kasich is coming through town running for president of the United States. Are you kidding me? That’s pretty cool.”

ENDORSEMENT: Mississippi State Rep. Trey Lamar Supports John Kasich for President 

Today Mississippi State Representative Trey Lamar announced his support for Gov. John Kasich's presidential campaign and joined Kasich for America's Mississippi leadership team.
 
"It's the right thing to do," said Lamar on his decision to publicly support Governor Kasich. "Our country is headed down the wrong path, and it will take an experienced and steady hand to correct our course. It takes a leader like John Kasich, who has consistently fought to balance budgets, cut taxes and regulations and spur the job creation that lifts all Americans. Mississippi voters are looking for a candidate who brings real solutions to the challenges they face. I am confident that John Kasich is the right person for the job, and I'm proud to stand by his side."
 
Lamar, Vice-Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, represents the state's 8th House District. He resides in Senatobia, Mississippi.
 
Said Kasich, "I'm honored to receive the endorsement of Rep. Trey Lamar, who demonstrates a deep commitment to safeguarding taxpayer money in Mississippi. He brings a valuable perspective and a welcomed boost to our campaign as we make our final push toward the primary election."
