KASICH FOR AMERICA ADDS EIGHT LOCAL OFFICIALS TO VIRGINIA LEADERSHIP TEAM

Today the group of Virginia leaders endorsing John Kasich for President expanded to include eight local officials: Fairfax County Supervisor John C. Cook, Prince William County Supervisor Marty Nohe, Virginia Beach Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, Virginia Beach Councilwoman Rosemary Wilson, Virginia Beach Councilman Jim Wood, Vienna Town Councilman Pasha M. Majdi, former Fairfax County Supervisor Christine R. Trapnell, and Brigadier General Tip Osterthaler (USAF-Ret.), President and CEO of SES Government Solutions. 
 
Former U.S. Congressman Tom Davis serves as Virginia State Honorary Chair of Kasich for America.
 
"Governor Kasich's ideas for balancing our federal budget, restoring fiscal responsibility, and strengthening our national defense are really making an impact on leaders at the local level," said Davis, who was chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) from 1998 to 2002. "It's exciting to see our leadership team grow in strength and numbers here in Virginia."
 
"It's a real honor to welcome these new additions to our team in Virginia," said Kasich. "Each of them brings valuable experience and a unique perspective to the table. The momentum that is building around the state speaks to the strong leadership of Tom Davis and the way our message is resonating with voters."

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
