We have come together as Ohio business leaders to support Governor John Kasich’s candidacy for President of the United States of America.
We are democrats, republicans and independents. But we are Americans first.
As we all know, this has been an odd election season, with campaigning built around bullying and insults rather than substantive issues. While this circus unfolds, real issues that affect each of us and our businesses are not getting the attention they need. If ever there was a time for a serious, thoughtful presidential process, it is now, and yet it isn’t happening.
After watching the March 3rd Republican debate it is clear that there is only one participant who has the experience, judgment and temperament to be President – John Kasich.
We love Ohio and are grateful for all that Governor Kasich has done to lift up our state and our people. If you have supported John Kasich already, now is the time to consider doubling down on your financial support and advocacy. If you have yet to commit, the time to choose is quickly coming to a close. If not John Kasich, who? If not now, when?
Governor Kasich must win Ohio next Tuesday. Join us now to make this happen.
