While campaigning in northern California this weekend, Ohio Gov. John Kasich helped a teenage fan of his score a date to her senior prom.
“It would be ‘Kasich’ if you would go to the prom with Julia,” the Republican presidential hopeful said in a video alongside a young girl named Julia Khan.

Kasich met Khan during a town hall event at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco during a weekend swing through the Golden State. California is set to hold its GOP primary on June 7.
“He said yes!!” Khan tweeted shortly after she and Kasich filmed their “promposal.”
“That’s great!” Kasich wrote in separate tweet posted Saturday. “Have an awesome time!”
Kasich is currently polling third in California behind opponents Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. He is expected to campaign heavily in the Golden State as well as in Oregon and New Mexico in the coming weeks.
