Mass. Sen. Tarr throws his support to Kasich

BOSTON — Bruce Tarr, the top Republican in the Massachusetts Senate, on Friday endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich for the GOP presidential nomination.
Tarr, the Senate minority leader from Gloucester who has served in the upper chamber since 1995, said Kasich's 18 years of experience on the Armed Services Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives would help "guide us to a new and stable place in a turbulent and dangerous world."
