Today former Mississippi GOP Chairman and National Committeeman Clarke Reed announced his support for Gov. John Kasich's presidential campaign and joined Kasich for America's Mississippi leadership team.

Said Reed, "Now more than ever, America needs a leader who can bring people together around a conservative, results-oriented vision for the nation. There is no doubt in my mind that John Kasich is the best candidate for the job. He has a proven record of balancing budgets, enabling job creation and promoting a strong national defense. I'm proud to stand beside him as he brings his message to the people of Mississippi."
