Published on July 22, 2015 in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by Mitch Perry

John Kasich announced his candidacy at Ohio State University on Tuesday. When you look at his resume and his center-right political persona, he could/should be a top-tier contender. But nobody seems to be talking about that today. Instead, the focus is on the fact that he’s entering the race some seven months later than Jeb Bush did. Excuse me, when Bush said he was “testing the waters” but set up a political action committee that was able to raise over…

Don’t go too far, Joe Negron

I want to be clear about something. If my wife Michelle ever ran for office, I would pretty much do anything I could to help her get elected. How far would I go? I don’t know.
