President Barack Obama has invited Gov.-elect John Kasich and other newly elected Republican and Democratic governors to the White House for a Dec. 2 meeting, the White House announced Thursday.
Rob Nichols, Republican Kasich’s spokesman, said there had been no discussion yet on the invitation.
“…I think it’s a terrific opportunity to hear from them, folks who are working at the state and local levels, about what they’re seeing, what ideas they think Washington needs to be paying more attention to,” the Democratic president said after a cabinet meeting, according to a White House transcript.
Governors must deal with “nuts and bolts” issues that “oftentimes yields the kind of common sense approach that the American people, I think, are looking for right now,” Obama said.
