Michael Reagan, the son of esteemed conservative President Ronald Reagan, said he is backing Ohio Gov. John Kasich's bid for the GOP nomination.
"You see many Republicans claiming the label of 'Reagan conservative' but not many whose leadership truly embodies my father's principles and spirit. Gov. John Kasich is a noteworthy exception," Reagan said in a statement.
BOSTON – Almost two-thirds of the 80 Republican State Committee members elected last week are pro-life, and there may be more, according to an advocacy group that says it worked the phones prior to the elections on behalf candidates who share its views.
"While the buzz was all about the slates run by the governor and others, members of Mass Citizens were doing their work and making their phone calls," Anne Fox, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, said in a statement. "The results are impressive: out of 80 members of the newly-elected State Committee, 50 are pro-life, 13 are not pro-life. The position of the other 17 is not known at this time."
