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
