John,



It’s a question I’ve thought about quite a bit this year.

I’m often asked why I think so many Republican leaders who had been outspoken
critics of former President Trump over the past eight years seem to suddenly do
a U-turn and endorse his candidacy.

As you know, after being a first-hand witness to his endless barrage of
shocking words and divisive behavior when I opposed him in the 2016
presidential campaign, I was resolved never to support a candidate like him. I
may have paid a heavy price politically for that decision, but it's not one
that I've ever regretted because it simply came down to what I thought was best
for America. And, in the long run, what was best for conservative Republican
values.

You know my track record. I've been in the trenches fighting for those values
for more than forty years and I cherish them deeply. As a well-known “budget
hawk” during my 18 years in Congress, I chaired the U.S. House Budget Committee
and spent much of my time working to achieve the first balanced federal budget
in decades. (And the last balanced budget anyone’s been able to achieve ever
since!) Supporting pro-growth policies and fiscal restraint used to be critical
components of what it meant to be a Republican.



As governor of Ohio, I continued to champion conservative principles such as
fiscal restraint, removing burdensome regulations that were standing in the way
of job creation, and cutting taxes to help create a better business climate. It
was a winning formula as we created approximately 500,000 new private-sector
jobs, while not leaving anyone behind.



It seems that for many in politics today, while they call themselves
Republicans, their policies are not consistent with the conservative values of
traditional Republicans.



* Why have we become the party that enables a toxic and divisive figure like
Trump or his enablers in Congress?

* Why do we not have any kind of hopeful vision for the future of America?

* Why are we retreating from our international alliances?

* Why are we not pro-job creation, pro-legal immigration, and so many other
issues we could – and should – champion?


For the past eight years, it doesn’t feel like we are for anything, we're
just against everything!

I'll have much more to say about this as the year goes on, but the reality is
that nobody is going to solve our problems for us. It's going to take each of
us to chart a more hopeful path forward for our country. I’m not saying that
any of this will be easy, but we're not afraid of the challenge, are we?


I'm out there every week giving speeches, doing media interviews,
communicating on social media and using every other tool at my disposal to give
hope and encouragement to as many Americans as I can.



John - I'm counting on your continued support to ensure that we can keep this
important work moving forward <[link removed]>.
