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
