"He also has the right temperament and realistic leadership skills required to advance smart and bold reforms to reduce the nation's debt and deficit so that we can restore fiscal sanity in Washington. Further, he has a proven record of experience that is wholly unknown to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Today, I am extremely proud to endorse Governor Kasich and support his campaign for president."

"I am thankful for his support as we work to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington to get our economy moving again. Senator Simpson, welcome to our team."
