Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the final major GOP candidate anticipated to enter the race for president.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich officially became the 16th nominee to officially enter the crowded race for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday.
Elected to the U.S. House at only 30 years old, after having become the youngest state senator in Ohio history, Kasich acquired a reputation as a budget and deficit hawk in Washington, D.C., and eventually rose to direct the esteemed Budget Committee.
Kasich’s religion waned after he went off to college at Ohio State University, though.
“Now, when you die and reach the meeting with St. Peter, he is probably not going to ask you much about what you did about keeping government small. However he is going to ask you what you did for the poor. You better have an excellent reply,” Kasich told reporters in 2013.
Then-House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich made a short run for president in the 2000 GOP primary before ending his campaign and supporting George W. Bush in July 1999.
From the Heartland with John Kasich premiered on Fox News in 2001, airing on Saturday evenings and broadcast from Columbus, Ohio, until 2007.
One month into his freshman year at Ohio State, Kasich kept calling to demand a meeting with all the college president until his secretary finally relented.
