CONWAY — Respect for others was a running theme of the town hall meeting Ohio Gov. and Republican presidential candidate John Kasich held at Conway Public Library last Friday, Jan. 15, with a standing-room-only crowd.
Kasich, 63, announced his campaign on July 21. Two days later, he was in North Conway holding a town hall meeting at the Gibson Center for Senior Services.
