I want to congratulate John Kasich on being elected as the next governor of the great state of Ohio. John ran a positive campaign and crafted a clear vision for Ohio. I am grateful that a majority of voters responded to his message. I am also very happy for John and all those who worked so hard to get him elected. Good on them.

Almighty God our heavenly Father, send down upon those who hold office in this State, especially your servant, governor-elect John, the spirit of wisdom, charity, and justice; that with steadfast purpose they may faithfully serve in their offices to promote the well-being of all people; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
