DescriptionOhio Gov. John Kasich officially announced his presidential run Tuesday, telling a crowd at Ohio State University that "the sun is rising" in America again.

"I am here to ask you for your prayers, for your support, for your efforts because I have decided to run for president of the United States," he said.

In a speech that described the woes of Americans worried about lost jobs, health care costs and crushing student debt -- and that made a point to reference the specific worries of minorities -- Kasich also tried to strike an optimistic note.

"The sun is rising, and the sun is going to rise to the zenith in America again," he said. "I promise you."

Highlighting his experience working with former President Ronald Reagan, the former congressman said he has the right resume to serve as the commander in chief.
