KASICH FOR AMERICA ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF MICHIGAN LEADERSHIP TEAM TO INCLUDE STATE SENATOR WAYNE SCHMIDT
AND STATE REP. JASON SHEPPARD
Today State Senator Wayne Schmidt and State Representative Jason Sheppard announced their support of John Kasich for President.
“Governor Kasich provides the kind of realistic conservative leadership that our country badly needs right now,” said Schmidt. “He’s led the way to an economic turnaround that has really paid off for our neighbors to the south, and his message is hitting good notes with voters here in Michigan as well.”
Sheppard said, “I’m proud to endorse a candidate with a proven record of success as a leader, someone who brings people together and solves problems. Governor Kasich has the experience and skill to balance the federal budget and put America back on track.”
Schmidt and Sheppard join Michigan Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhoff and Michigan House Speaker Pro Tempore Tom Leonard, who serve as co-chairs of Kasich for America’s Michigan Leadership Team, and Former Congressman Pete Hoekstra, who is an honorary co-chair.
“I’m grateful to welcome Senator Schmidt and Representative Sheppard to the team,” said Kasich. “The experience and insights they have to offer will be extremely valuable as we build momentum in Michigan.”
