Kasich has served as chair of the Budget Committee in Congress, and spent 18 years on the House Armed Services Committee where he was a strong ally of President Reagan and his national security agenda. He also had a successful career as an investment banker, New York Times best-selling author, and at FOX News.

The Quad Cities New Ideas Forum is an opportunity to put the Quad Cities in the national spotlight as candidates visit to discuss their new ideas for the future of the country. Last week 700 people along with the local and national media packed the room for the Quad Cities New Ideas Forum with Carly Fiorina. The Quad Cities New Ideas Forum previously hosted Rand Paul and Jeb Bush.
