DEVELOPING...
UPDATE 1: Kasich wants to see Bill Batchelder as Speaker of the Ohio House. Team Kasich will spend the next thirty days fund raising. There will be a huge rally on June 1st to kickoff the campaign. Sources tell me that John is sounding pretty fired up on the conference call currently taking place.
UPDATE 2: KasichForOhio.com if you are so inclined to donate to the cause...
UPDATE 3: When asked about Kevin Coughlin..."We will let that sort itself out and we try to avoid primaries if possible." Unless something comes out that would disqualify Coughlin, I support him for Secretary of State.
UPDATE 4: For the record, it is Bradley K. Sinnott, Treasurer.
UPDATE 5: Kasich: I am in this to win." -- YES!!! -- Kasich has committed to campaigning every day from here on out...
UPDATE 6: Email from John:
Friends,
I’m very excited about what we’ve already accomplished as we've come together with a shared vision for Ohio and started a meaningful discussion of how we can move our great state forward to a brighter future. Thank you for your ideas, your enthusiasm, your encouragement, and your support.
As we continue to work for a better Ohio, I wanted to let you know that I have taken the important next step of filing paperwork with the Secretary of State to establish a campaign committee for the office of Governor. This will allow us to build the common sense solutions we need to help Ohio’s hurting families.
I look forward to the hard work we have ahead, and I hope I can count on your help to bring Ohio back.
John
