FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ENDORSEMENT: California
Assemblyman Rocky Chávez Supports John Kasich for President
Today California Assemblyman Rocky
Chávez announced his support for Gov. John Kasich for President and
joined the Kasich for America leadership team in California.
Said Chávez, "Our men and women in uniform deserve a Commander-in-Chief with the experience to lead on Day One, and only John Kasich has that experience. Our job creators need a leader who can partner with them, not stand in their way, by balancing the federal budget and cutting taxes. Only John Kasich has a realistic plan to create a jobs-friendly climate. Most important, poll after poll confirms that he is the only Republican candidate who can actually win in a general election. He's run a campaign with the dignity befitting a great leader, and I'm proud to stand with him as we spread his message throughout California."
Chávez is a longtime public servant who rose to the rank of Colonel during his 28 years as a U.S. Marine. Since 2012 he has represented California's 76th Assembly District, which includes Camp Pendleton, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside and Vista. The Oceanside resident has also served on the Oceanside City Council and as Undersecretary of the California Department of Veterans Affairs in Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration.
Said Kasich, "Assemblyman Chávez has devoted his career to serving his country and his state. I'm honored to receive his support. There's no doubt that Rocky's deep understanding of issues that matter to Californians will be a tremendous asset to us moving forward in the primary."

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. You can learn more about him at www.JohnKasich.com
