Gov. Tommy Thompson to Chair Kasich for America Wisconsin Campaign

Kasich for America announced today that Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson will chair and lead the campaign’s Wisconsin efforts.
 
“Gov. Kasich is the dedicated, responsible and compassionate executive leader our country needs. I look forward to him winning Ohio on Tuesday and campaigning in the Badger State with momentum,” Gov. Thompson said.  “America needs the pro-growth, conservative solutions John Kasich successfully advanced in his home state. Gov. Kasich is the only day one job-ready candidate in the race. He will be a strong, uplifting voice for our country in the White House.”
 
Republican Tommy Thompson was a four term governor in Wisconsin. He also served as the Secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush.

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
