Ohio Gov. John Kasich will run a new ad on the airwaves in Massachusetts touting his record on jobs and the economy.
Advertisements supporting the governor have appeared on Massachusetts airwaves since before Kasich launched his campaign in July 2015, as he began his bid targeting New Hampshire and the Boston media market.
The new ad, titled “Progress,” attributes the jobs created in Ohio during Kasich’s governorship to Kasich’s leadership.
“Twenty million Americans are out of work — that’s unacceptable,” a narrator says in the ad. “But John Kasich won’t stop until that number is zero. As governor, Kasich delivered the largest tax cut in the nation, and over 400,000 new jobs have been created through his leadership. As president, Kasich will cut taxes, freeze new regulations and re-shore American jobs. So punch the clock and take that to the bank. America, let’s go to work. John Kasich.”
Kasich is campaigning in Mississippi and Louisiana on Wednesday where he earnestly asked his audience to applaud him. While the governor has said he’s not sure it’s his “purpose” to serve as President of the United States, he told a southern audience that he would not drop out of the 2016 contest. Kasich appeared to finish last in Tuesday’s Nevada caucus among the active Republican presidential candidates.
