Ohio Governor John Kasich started a tax-exempt political organization and website to raise money for travel and other activities as he considers whether to seek the Republican nomination for president.

Kasich filed paperwork Monday for a so-called 527 organization, New Day For America, that can raise and spend unlimited sums. The officers of the political group include former U.S. Senator John Sununu of New Hampshire, which holds the first presidential primary, according to a filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
