Governor of Ohio

The 2000 presidential campaign of John Kasich, a member of the United States House of Representatives from Ohio's 12th District who eventually became the Governor of Ohio 10 years later, was officially launched on February 15, 1999, when he announced the formation of an exploratory committee.[2][3] Had he won, Kasich would have been the first president since James A. Garfield to be elected from the House of Representatives, as well as the first Pennsylvania native since James Buchanan to hold the office.[3]

Kasich suspended his campaign on July 14, 1999.[4]
