ENDORSEMENT: Former Governor of Wisconsin Scott McCallum Endorses John Kasich for President

Today, Scott McCallum endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich for president and joined the Kasich for America leadership team in Wisconsin.
 
“Governor Kasich doesn’t just talk about pro-growth solutions— he has put them into action," said McCallum. "As chairman of the House Budget Committee, Kasich led the successful effort to balance our country’s budget and as Governor of Ohio he cut spending and lowered taxes to expand his state’s economy. To see those results nationwide, we need to send him to the White House."
 
McCallum served as Wisconsin’s 43rd governor from 2001-2003. 
 
“I am grateful for Governor McCallum’s endorsement," said Kasich. "Like my dad, his father was also a letter carrier who rose from humble beginnings to provide for his family and teach his son the value of a hard day's work. With Scott's help, I look forward to continuing our efforts to share a positive, commonsense message across the great state of Wisconsin."

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
