Kasich Wins Endorsement of Key NH State Senator

New Hampshire State Senator David Boutin endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich for President, the Kasich campaign announced.

Boutin will serve as co-chair of the New Hampshire campaign as well. In the announcement, Boutin called Kasich a reformer who will work to better the country.

“John Kasich balanced the federal budget, worked on national security issues as a reformer and defense hawk and turned around Ohio," said Boutin. “His experience of actually delivering results in Washington and Ohio sets him apart from the rest of the field. We can trust John Kasich to get things done for us and make our nation strong again.”

"I'm excited to have Senator Boutin join our team,"  Kasich said. "He's focused on balanced budgets and lower taxes in New Hampshire, the exact things we need to focus on nationally and he'll bring that commitment to our efforts in New Hampshire."

Boutin's endorsement follows other recent Kasich endorsements by New Hampshire GOP Leaders Tom Rath, Doug and Stella Scamman, N.H. House Majority Leader Jack Flangan and GOP Leader Nancy Merrill.
