To the editor:

John Kasich has served in government in Washington and is the most successful governor in our United States. He served 18 years on the U.S. House Defense committee. This experience will be helpful for knowing how to keep us safe. We believe he will win the Ohio primary.

The Republican party has produced some talented people. We believe Carly Fiorina, if she does not win the nomination, would make a great vice president. She would be a calming influence for angry Americans who want an outsider. She is disciplined and an excellent communicator. She is intelligent and Kasich would be a great mentor for her if she wants to be president in the future.

One of us favors Kasich for president, the other favors Fiorina. We need leadership that answers only to God and the American people. See you at the Iowa caucuses.
