HANOVERTON

Republican presidential hopeful Gov. John Kasich vowed to keep Social Security secure for future generations in an address before about 400 enthusiastic supporters tonight at the Spread Eagle Tavern and Inn.

Kasich said that if he becomes president “Social Security will last forever.”

He also talked about changing many regulations and tax policies that he says strangle small businesses.

Kasich also discussed the need to do more to assist the working poor and minorities in the country.

“Some minorities feel that the country doesn’t work for them, but in some cases, it actually works against them,” he said.

He discussed wanting to do for the country what he says he did for Ohio: improving the economy and getting out of debt. He said he would use the same formula as president that he has used as governor of the Buckeye State.

Kasich also touched on the demeanor of the campaign, without referring specifically to Republican front-runner Donald Trump who has been criticized over what some have viewed as brash behavior on the campaign trail.

“It matters about the way you do things. I’m not going to take the low road to get to the highest office in the nation,” he said.
