ENDORSEMENT: Kasich for America Adds Key Supporters to

Today Kasich for America announced the expansion of its New Jersey leadership team to include a number of prominent public officials and political and business leaders from around the state.

Former Congressman Dick Zimmer

Former New Jersey Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff

State Senator Jen Beck

Former Assemblywoman Barbara Wright

Former Rubio NJ Co-Chairs Tom Basta and Mike Thulen

Princeton Businessman Scott Sipprelle

 

Said Kasich, "Because of my close personal friendship with former Congressman Bob Franks and his family, I have always felt a close connection to New Jersey. I'm incredibly grateful for the support and expertise of each of these talented leaders as we expand our ground operations in advance of New Jersey's primary election."

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
