FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KASICH CAMPAIGN BRINGS ABOARD VETERAN NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICAL STRATEGIST ANDY LEACH

Leach experience includes work for the NH campaigns of Mitt Romney, John E. Sununu, Gordon Humphrey, Kelly Ayotte, Scott Brown, and Scott Walker

Today, the Kasich for America campaign announced that it has brought aboard veteran Republican political strategist Andy Leach as a senior advisor in New Hampshire. 
 
For more than two decades, Leach has provided his strategic leadership to campaigns at all levels, including Presidential, Gubernatorial, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House races.  His resume includes his work for the New Hampshire campaigns of Mitt Romney, Sen. John E. Sununu, Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Sen. Scott Brown, Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Gov. Scott Walker.  In addition, Leach twice served as executive director of the New Hampshire Republican Party, and with Leach at the helm of the party in the 2010 elections, Republicans saw historic success and a record number of victories in New Hampshire.
 
Said Kasich for America campaign manager Beth Hansen, “With the addition of Andy Leach, the Kasich New Hampshire team – already the strongest in the state – just got stronger.  For more than twenty years, Andy has been a significant factor in virtually every important Republican campaign in New Hampshire, and we are very happy to welcome him aboard.”
 
 
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 300,000 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.
