Ohio Governor John Kasich has renewed the state's membership in the National Governors Association as he seeks to shore up credibility for bipartisan deal-making that could bolster a 2020 bid for president. An invoice produced in response to a public records request shows Ohio rejoined the policy group in January for the first time in eight years. Kasich withdrew Ohio from the group in 2011, citing budget concerns. The renewal came a month after the Associated Press sought records on Ohio's membership status and amid Kasich's negotiations on compromises on issues, including health care, immigration and guns.
