COLUMBUS – Governor John Kasich has scheduled return trips to key primary states on what are expected to be his first visits as an official Republican presidential hopeful.
Kasich’s planned presidential announcement will come during a Tuesday morning event at Ohio State University, his alma mater. It was preceded by Sunday’s release of a five-minute campaign video (above) touting Kasich’s experience in Congress and the private sector, including balancing the federal budget, and his success in turning around Ohio’s economy.
Kasich has scheduled town hall events in New Hampshire next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The second-term governor and former congressman then plans an event in Summerville, South Carolina, Friday morning, his sixth visit in recent months to the first southern primary state in 2016.
Kasich plans a town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday afternoon.
