ENDORSEMENT: Congresswoman Nancy Johnson Announces Support for John Kasich

Today, former Congresswoman Nancy Johnson (R-CT) endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich for president.
 
“Governor John Kasich is both the only candidate who can defeat Hillary Clinton and the only candidate who has what it takes to renew accountability and trust in government," said Johnson. "I worked with John when he served in Congress and together, we fought for responsible solutions that put the country first to help more Americans get ahead. I know that will continue to be his focus and mission as president. I am proud to support him and I call on my fellow citizens in Connecticut to do the same on April 26.”
 
Congresswoman Johnson represented Connecticut’s fifth and sixth districts from 1983-2007.
 
“I am honored to have the endorsement of Congresswoman Johnson,” said Kasich. “She always put people, not the party, first. In the House, she was a strong voice for her constituents. It means a great deal to have her support as we move forward to the convention in July.”

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
