Republican presidential hopeful and Ohio Governor John Kasich spoke to a couple hundred people at a Traverse City town hall on Saturday morning.
The Republican's main message was to pay attention to each other because "we need to be connected with one another."
Jill Coverdill of Grawn says she’ll vote Kasich in Tuesday's Michigan primary because the other Republican candidates are "frightening."
Coverdill says she's looking for the candidate who will get the country's economy back on track.
"I think we can’t continue to run [this country] with the deficit that we have," says Coverdill. "We’ve got to really look at programs where we can run efficiently, and we’ve got to treat it like a business."
She says Kasich is the only voice of reason among all candidates.
Kasich spoke briefly about the federal budget, veterans, welfare and national security.
He told the crowd he knows how to pull people together.
"I've done it all my lifetime," says Kasich. "I know how to tackle these problems. They're not really that hard. It's just a matter of us being Americans and not Republicans or Democrats. It's about us having conservative solutions to fix it."
Michigan's presidential primary is Tuesday.
