John Kasich for President of the United States.

| Gov. John Kasich is a noteworthy exception. As a Member of Congress, he made a name for himself as a problem-solver and a diplomat when he worked across the aisle to balance the federal budget. As Governor of Ohio, he used conservative, commonsense reforms to breathe new life into a state that was undergoing a painful decline. I’m confident that his record of success, his vision for America and his ability to bring people together is exactly what our country needs in the midst of division and uncertainty. To continue my father’s great legacy, I’m proud to endorse John Kasich for President of the United States.” | Gov. John Kasich is a noteworthy exception.
