Kasich for America Announces Delegate Leadership Team in Vermont 

Leading up to the May 21 Vermont GOP State Convention, Kasich for America announces its delegate leadership team in Vermont. These committee members will be actively identifying and recruiting committed delegates throughout Vermont to secure support for Governor John Kasich
 
"This is a critical time in our nation's history," Governor Douglas said. "The challenges at home and abroad are daunting. It is imperative that the next president be ready from day one. We are fortunate that Governor Kasich seeks the presidency for he is clearly the most qualified candidate by both experience and temperament."
 
Governor Kasich said, “I’m grateful for the work of this remarkable team. InVermont and beyond, more and more people are recognizing that I am the only candidate who can defeat Hillary Clinton and bring commonsense solutions to Washington.

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
