ENDORSEMENT: Theodore Roosevelt IV Endorses John Kasich for President

Today Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt IV, the great-grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, endorsed Gov. John Kasich for President.
 
Earlier this month, Gov. Kasich visited Sagamore Hill, the home of President Roosevelt in Oyster Bay, New York. 
 
Said Roosevelt, "I have known Governor Kasich for years. In my opinion he is by far the best-qualified Republican candidate and the only one who could win the general election. I am honored to endorse him."
 
Ted Roosevelt is a retired U.S. Navy officer who served for two years in Vietnam as a Navy SEAL. He is also a leading conservationist voice in the Republican Party, serving as the Chair of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. Having previously served as a U.S. foreign service officer, he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Foreign Policy Association and Economic Club of New York. 
 
Said Kasich, "Ted is a passionate public servant in the tradition of his great-grandfather, and it's an honor for me to receive his endorsement today. We share the same desire to lift people from the shadows and leave a safer, more prosperous country for future generations. I'm grateful for his support."

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
