New Day for America.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Gov. John Kasich is about to launch a national political committee that would allow him to raise money and his profile as he considers a run for president in 2016, sources close to the Republican said Thursday.
The effort, first reported on cleveland.com, has been in the works since Kasich's well-received visit last month to New Hampshire, which holds the first primary.
A source, who spoke to Northeast Ohio Media Group on the condition of anonymity, said the governor's team is "finishing work" and will register the organization soon. Another said the team is hammering out plans for an announcement.
Records show that a nonprofit called New Day for America incorporated this week with the Ohio secretary of state. The name is similar to one Kasich has used for his gubernatorial inaugural committee. The incorporator is listed as E. Mark Braden, an attorney and election-law specialist who has worked for Kasich before and who once served as chief counsel to the Republican National Committee.
New Day for America, according to the filing with the state, will operate as a "tax-exempt political organization" under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code.
This is not an official declaration of candidacy or a committee that will accept donations for a full-fledged Kasich-for-president campaign. Kasich will continue doing what he has been for months -- touring the country to gauge interest, test a message and test his own appetite for the grind of another national run.
