Kasich adds Monday visit to Y'town to campaign tour

YOUNGSTOWN — After going more than 16 months without a public appearance in the Mahoning Valley, Gov. John Kasich will be in the area twice campaigning in the final days leading to Ohio’s Tuesday primary.

The Republican governor will be at Brilex Industries Inc., 101 Andrews Ave. in Youngstown for a town-hall meeting Monday. The doors will open at 9:30 a.m. with the one-hour event starting at 10 a.m.

Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel is being advertised as a “special guest.”

The stop is part of Kasich’s bus tour through the state that also includes a Sunday stop at the Spread Eagle Tavern and Inn in Hanoverton. Those attending that event are asked to be there at 5:30 p.m. with the one-hour rally starting at 6 p.m.

Kasich’s last visit to the Valley was Oct. 30, 2014, when he was campaigning for re-election as governor. He and the rest of the statewide Republican ticket had a rally at Dearing Compressor & Pump Co. at 801 Midlothian Blvd. in Youngstown.
