== Kasich stripped of this award ==
Governor [[John Kasich]] was the original winner due to leading [[Ohio]] to #3 in [[abortion legislation 2011]], enacting [[conservative]] [[economic]] reforms, honoring the player who routed media-favorite [[LeBron James]] in the [[NBA]] finals, and criticizing Ohio's pink drivers licenses. He never backed down when liberals whined about him. He was a [[conservative]] leader in a [[swing state]], and an example for 49 governors and the president to follow.
But in 2021 Kasich was stripped of his award due to a multi-year pattern of [[RINO]]-like political positions that included boycotting the 2016 Republican National Convention in his own State of [[Ohio]].
