FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TOP OHIO REPUBLICANS ENDORSE KASICH FOR PRESIDENT, WILL LEAD HIS OHIO CAMPAIGN TEAM TO DELIVER A WIN ON MARCH 15

Taylor, DeWine, Yost and Faber Will Serve as Statewide Co-Chairs

 

Today Ohio Gov. John Kasich announced that Ohio’s top Republican leaders have endorsed his campaign for President and are coming together to lead his campaign in Ohio. Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, Attorney General Mike DeWine, Auditor of State David Yost and Ohio Senate President Keith Faber will serve as Co-Chairs of Kasich’s Ohio campaign team.
 
Ohio’s 2016 primary election is March 15, together with, at this point, Florida, Illinois and Missouri.
 
“I’m proud of what Ohioans have done to get our state back on track and by what our Administration and statewide and legislative leaders have done to create the environment for them to succeed. It’s an incredible success story and shows the country the great things that can happen when leaders put aside their differences and instead put those they serve first. It’s certainly a message that Washington needs to hear and I’m so humbled that the leaders who helped make it possible are coming together and, as a team, working with me to take Ohio’s successful model to the White House so Americans can begin turning around our nation,” said Kasich.
 
Ohio Secretary of State John Husted has also endorsed Kasich for President but his role as Ohio’s chief elections official prevents his involvement.

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 350,000 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.
