Said Bradley, "I am proud to stand with so many conservative leaders in Mississippi and endorse Gov. John Kasich for president. We need strong leadership in the White House from someone who understands the urgency felt by families and individuals to get our economy moving again with job-friendly and pro-growth solutions."

Chris Bowen was elected to the Forrest County Board of Supervisors in 2007. He represents District 5.
 
Said Kasich, "Our team in Mississippi is growing rapidly. Kim Bradley and Chris Bowen are remarkable leaders in Hattiesburg and Forrest County, and we are fortunate to have them on the team as we work to empower local officials to make decisions that impact their communities the most."

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
