Gov race heats up in Dayton area with back-to-back stops by Kasich, Strickland
The Dayton area becomes the center of the Ohio governor’s race on Thursday, July 15, and Friday, July 16, with back-to-back appearances by Republican challenger John Kasich and Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.
Strickland is expected in Huber Heights on Friday afternoon as part of his “Main Street Tour”, his campaign said. Strickland is using the tour to contrast his record with Kasich’s, Strickland’s campaign has said.
As previously announced, Kasich will be at Sinclair Community College on Thursday with former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich for a round table discussion on job training.
Kasich, a former Columbus-area U.S. House member, and Gingrich are former allies in Congress and worked together to help the GOP take over the U.S. House in 1994 with its “Contract with America” campaign.
