Kasich for America Announces Connecticut Leadership Team

Today Kasich for America announced Ohio Gov. John Kasich's leadership team in Connecticut prior to the state's April 26th primary election.
 
Under the chairmanship of State Senator Tony Hwang, who endorsed Gov. Kasich last month, the team includes a number of prominent former and current public officials from around the state. 
 
Said Hwang, "I'm looking forward to working with these colleagues and friends to engage Connecticut voters on behalf of Gov. Kasich. His brand of commonsense, results-oriented conservatism is resonating, as is the message that only John Kasich can defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall."
 
"It's exciting to see our team in Connecticut expand," said Kasich. "I'm grateful to Tony Hwang and every other leader who's come on board for their willingness to share our message of results in their communities."

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
