ENDORSEMENT: Former Kentucky Congressman Larry Hopkins Supports John Kasich for President

Today, Republican and former Congressman Larry Hopkins endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich for President and joined the Kasich for America Leadership team in Kentucky.
 
Hopkins represented Kentucky’s 6th district from 1979-1992. He previously served in the Kentucky State House of Representatives and the State Senate from 1972-1978.
 
“I deeply respect and trust John Kasich,” said Hopkins. “As our neighbor across the river, Kentuckians have had a front row seat to his record of success of balancing the budget and cutting taxes in Ohio. I am proud to endorse him and support his candidacy to the White House to bring fiscal responsiblity to the federal government.”
 
Said Kasich, “I welcome Congressman Hopkins to the team. It is an honor to have his endorsement as we work to bring real, commonsense solutions to the American people. He will be a remarkable asset to our team in Kentucky.”

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
