Donald Trump to pick Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as VP running mate
Donald Trump has reportedly picked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate, a move to shore up the presumptive GOP nominee's standing with skeptical conservatives.
Pence, who often touts himself as "A Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order," has deep ties with both social and fiscal conservatives. The former congressman chaired the conservative Republican Study Committee, once challenged John Boehner for House minority leader, and routinely voted against his party from the right while in the House, battling No Child Left Behind and the George W. Bush-backed Medicare prescription drug expansion. He also has close connections to the Koch brothers — the libertarian-leaning billionaires (and fierce Trump critics) have employed a number of his closest advisers in top positions.
The move is considered a safe choice for Trump aimed at uniting the party rather than a game-changing move. Pence is well-liked by many in the base of his party, but isn't a general with military experience or an attack dog adept at ginning up coverage, like others Trump considered.
Trump has said he will make a formal announcement Friday morning in Manhattan, and his campaign continues to insist no final decisions have been made. Top Pence strategists, while not denying their boss was joining the ticket, referred the Daily News to Trump's campaign.

Pence was mentioned as a possible candidate for President of the United States in 2008 and 2012.[4] In September 2010, Pence was the top choice for president in a straw poll conducted by the Values Voter Summit.[5][6]
On July 14, 2016, Donald Trump's campaign signalled that Pence would be Trump's choice for running-mate in the 2016 election.[7]
Contents
Early life
Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, one of six children of Nancy Jane (née Cawley) and Edward J. Pence, Jr., who ran a string of gas stations.[8][9] His family were Irish Catholic Democrats.[1] He was named after his grandfather, Richard Michael Cawley, a Chicago bus driver who came to the United States from Ireland through Ellis Island.[10]
Education
Pence graduated from Columbus North High School in 1977. He earned a B.A. in History from Hanover College in 1981 and a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1986. While at Hanover, Pence joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, serving as his chapter's president.[11]
Career
After graduating from Hanover, Pence worked as an admissions counselor at the college from 1981 to 1983.[12] After graduating from law school in 1986, Pence worked as an attorney in private practice.[13] He continued to practice law following his second unsuccessful run for Congress. In 1991, he became the president of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, a self-described free-market think tank and a member of the State Policy Network.[14]
Pence left the Indiana Policy Review Foundation in 1994, when he began a career in talk radio. He hosted The Mike Pence Show, which was based in WRCR-FM in Rushville. The show was syndicated by Network Indiana and aired weekdays 9 a.m. to noon (ET) on 18 stations throughout the state, including WIBC in Indianapolis.[15] From 1995 to 1999, Pence also hosted a weekend political talk show out of Indianapolis.[16][17]
U.S. House of Representatives
Elections
Pence ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1988 and 1990, losing to longtime Democratic incumbent Phil Sharp.[18]
In November 2000, Pence was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana's 2nd Congressional District after six-year incumbent David M. McIntosh (1995–2001) opted to run for governor of Indiana. The district (renumbered as the 6th District beginning in 2002) comprises all or portions of 19 counties in eastern Indiana. Pence was re-elected four more times by comfortable margins. In the 2006 House elections, he defeated Democrat Barry Welsh. In 2008, he was listed as one of the top ten legislators by Esquire magazine.[19]
On November 8, 2006, Pence announced his candidacy for leader of the Republican Party (minority leader) in the United States House of Representatives.[20] Pence's release announcing his run for minority leader focused on a "return to the values" of the 1994 Republican Revolution.[21] On November 17, Pence lost to Representative John Boehner of Ohio by a vote of 168–27–1 (the one vote went to Representative Joe Barton of Texas).[22]Pence, as U.S. Congressman
Pence defeated Reverend Barry Welsh in the 2008 House election. In January 2009, Pence was elected by his GOP colleagues to become the Republican Conference Chairman, the third-highest-ranking Republican leadership position. He ran unopposed and was elected unanimously. He was the first representative from Indiana to hold a House leadership position since 1981.[2]
In 2010, Pence was encouraged to run against incumbent Democratic Senator Evan Bayh.[23][24][25] According to Rasmussen polling done on January 21 and 24, 2010, Pence led Bayh by a three point margin.[26] On January 26, 2010, in an open letter to friends and supporters through his Facebook page, Pence announced his decision not to run for the Senate; he cited his role in the Republican leadership and the belief that Republicans would win back the House in 2010 as his reasons for staying in the House of Representatives.[27]
After the November 2010 election, Pence announced that he would not run for re-election as the Republican Conference Chairman.[28] On May 5, 2011, Pence announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for Governor of Indiana in 2012.[29][30]
Tenure
Pence served for a time as the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative House Republicans.
His Committee assignments in the U.S. House included: Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Middle East and South Asia (Vice Chair); Judiciary, Subcommittee on the Constitution (Vice Chair), and Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet. While in Congress he belonged to the Congressional Internet Caucus, International Conservation Caucus, Sportsmen's Caucus, and the Tea Party Caucus.
Economy
Pence was a co-sponsor of H.J.Res.73, a 2011 spending limit amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment would limit federal spending to "the average annual revenue collected in the three prior years, adjusted in proportion to changes in population and inflation."[31]
Earmarks
Pence was a supporter of earmark reform. He voted against the $139.7 billion transportation-treasury spending bill in June 2006, and in favor of a series of amendments proposed that same month by Jeff Flake that would strip other members’ earmarks from the federal budget. Pence, on occasion, secured earmark projects such as $500,000 for the 'Transit Acquisition and Intermodal Facility Project' in his state, as well as $250,000 for construction of a park in Portland. Pence secured earmarks for inclusion in a labor-health and human services 2007FY bill. This included $200,000 for both Ball State University’s Center for School Innovation in Muncie and to the Madison County Community Health Center in Anderson. Pence also secured $100,000 for Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus.[32]Then-U.S. Congressman Pence (third from left) standing behind then-Governor Mitch Daniels at a press conference in Martinsville, Indiana
Immigration laws
In June 2006, Pence unveiled a plan he describes as "no amnesty immigration reform", consisting of increased border security, followed by strict enforcement of laws against hiring illegal aliens, and a guest worker program. This guest worker program requires potential participants to apply from their home country to government-approved job placement agencies that match workers with employers who cannot find Americans for the job.[33] The plan received support from conservative leaders such as Dick Armey.[34] Pat Buchanan, writing at WorldNetDaily, described this as "stealth amnesty", claiming that it is merely a "one week vacation" for illegal immigrants to return to their home country to apply for jobs under the program.[35] Conservatives Phyllis Schlafly and Tom Tancredo criticized Pence's plan.[36][37]
Foreign policy
Pence supported the joint resolution authorizing military action against Iraq, otherwise known as the Iraq Resolution.[38] The resolution cited factors including Iraq's noncompliance with the conditions of the 1991 ceasefire agreement, including interference with U.N. weapons inspectors, Iraq's "brutal repression of its civilian population", and Iraq's hostility towards the United States as demonstrated by the 1993 assassination attempt on former President George H. W. Bush and firing on coalition aircraft enforcing the no-fly zones following the 1991 Gulf War as reasons for taking action.[39]
During the Iraq War, Pence opposed setting a public withdrawal date from Iraq. During an April 2007 visit to Baghdad, Pence and John McCain visited Shorja market, the site of a deadly attack in February 2007, that claimed the lives of 61 people. Pence and McCain described the visit as evidence that the security situation in Iraqi markets has improved.[40] The visit to the market took place under large security including helicopters overhead, and was criticized by The New York Times as giving a false indication of how secure the area was due to the extremely heavy security forces McCain brought with him.[41]
Pence has opposed closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and trying the suspected terrorists in the U.S.[42] Pence believes that "the Obama administration must overturn this wrongheaded decision".[42] As an alternative, Pence has said that the "enemy combatants" should be tried in a military tribunal.[42]
Pence has stated his support of Israel and its right to attack facilities in Iran to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons, has defended the actions of Israel in its use of deadly force in enforcing the blockade of Gaza, and has referred to Israel as "America's most cherished ally".[43] He visited Israel in 2014 to express his support, and in 2016 signed into law a bill which would ban Indiana from having any commercial dealings with a company that boycotts Israel.[44]
LGBT rights
In 2000, Pence stated "Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual's [sic][45] as a 'discreet [sic] and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities." He called for "an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organisations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus" and instead advocated that resources be directed towards conversion therapy programs.[46][47][48]
Pence has said that homosexuals should not serve in the military, saying "Homosexuality is incompatible with military service because the presence of homosexuals in the ranks weakens unit cohesion" and in 2010 stated that repealing Don't ask, don't tell would "have an impact on unit cohesion".[49] Pence opposed the 2009 Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act, saying that Obama wanted to "advance a radical social agenda"[50] and said that pastors "could be charged or be subject to intimidation for simply expressing a Biblical worldview on the issue of homosexual behavior."[51]
Pence opposes both same-sex marriage and civil unions.[52] He has referred to Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin's findings that throughout history, societal collapse was brought about by the deterioration of marriage and family.[53] He has advocated a constitutional same-sex marriage ban, but did not champion such a proposed ban for his first year as governor.[54]
Other
In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina struck the Louisiana coast, Pence favored offsetting the costs of the hurricane with $24 billion in other spending reductions.[55]
Pence is an advocate of federal restrictions of online gambling. In 2006, he and 34 others members of the House cosponsored H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act,[56] and H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act.[57]
After the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the Affordable Care Act on June 28, 2012, Pence, in a closed door meeting, said that the ruling upholding the health care law was similar to the September 11 terrorist attacks.[58] He immediately apologized for making the statement.[59]
Governor of Indiana
2012 election
Main article: Indiana gubernatorial election, 2012On May 5, 2011, Pence announced that he would be seeking the Republican nomination for Governor of Indiana in 2012.[60] Incumbent Republican Governor Mitch Daniels was term-limited. On November 6, 2012, Pence won the gubernatorial election,[61] defeating Democratic nominee John R. Gregg and Libertarian nominee Rupert Boneham.
Pence became the 50th Governor of Indiana on January 14, 2013.[citation needed]Governor Mike Pence speaking at the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland on February 27, 2015
2013–14
Pence made tax reform, namely a 10% income-tax rate cut, a priority for 2013.[62][63] While he did not get the 10% cut he advocated, Pence did accomplish his goal of cutting state taxes.[62] Legislators cut the income tax by 5% and also killed the inheritance tax.[62] Speaker of the House Brian Bosma said of the deal, "What we ended up doing was putting together a collective tax package that results in the largest tax cut in our state’s history, about $1.1 billion dollars."[64]
On June 12, 2013, the Indiana legislature overturned Pence's veto of a bill that would retroactively authorize a local tax. Lawmakers overrode the governor's veto in a 68–23 vote in the House and a 34–12 one in the Senate.[65] With an interesting twist, Republican legislators overwhelmingly voted against Pence, while most Democrats supported his veto.[66] The Jackson–Pulaski tax fix, one of three bills vetoed by the Governor during the session, addressed a 15-year-old county income tax which had been imposed to fund the construction of jail facilities with the stipulation that the tax be lowered by 1% after the first several years. The reduction was not implemented and thus county residents paid an additional 1% tax that they were legally not required to pay. The bill, which was passed by a huge majority of legislators and subsequently vetoed by Pence, allowed money to be kept and not returned to the tax payers as would have otherwise been necessary.[67]
Pence's communications director Christy Denault, said that he "stands by [his] veto, and regret[s] that it was not upheld by the Indiana General Assembly today. While this bill contained some positive provisions, the Governor believes that when Hoosiers pay taxes that are not owed, they should be offered relief. Hoosiers can be assured that Governor Pence and his administration will continue to put taxpayers first."[66] Republicans argued that the veto itself would be unfair for taxpayers as state tax payers had to make up the money spent on calculating refunds to the tax payers in Jackson and Pulaski Counties. The bill also included tax breaks and benefits for veterans and veteran families that many legislators were unwilling to see vetoed. "Sustaining this veto will be a tax increase on the innocent spouses of disabled (and) deceased veterans, a tax increase through no fault of their own", said Republican District 7 State Senator Brandt Hershman. "Sustaining the veto will be a vote against the innocent taxpayers in Pulaski and Jackson counties who still regardless of our action here ... have to fund a jail."[66]
In June 2013, Pence was criticized for deleting comments of others posted on his official government Facebook page; he apologized.[68]
In late 2014, Philip Rucker of The Washington Post noted Pence's "relatively thin record as governor", comparing it to the previous governor, Mitch Daniels, who "already had cut taxes, balanced the budget and spurred economic development".[62]
2015
JustIN
On January 26, 2015 it was widely reported that Pence had planned to launch a state-run, taxpayer funded news service for Indiana.[69] The service, called "JustIN" was to be overseen by a former reporter for the Indianapolis Star, and would feature breaking news, stories written by press secretaries, and light features.[69] At the time, it was reported that the two employees who would run the news service would be paid a combined $100,000 yearly salary.[69] The target audience was small newspapers that had limited staff, but the site would also serve to communicate directly with the public. The idea was met with revulsion both by small Indiana newspapers, and by the national news media. The publisher of the Portland Commercial Review said, "I think it's a ludicrous idea ... the notion of elected officials presenting material that will inevitably have a pro-administration point of view is antithetical to the idea of an independent press."[69] Many news stories compared the new JustIN service to state-run news agencies in Russia, China, and North Korea.[70] There was speculation that the news service would publish pro-administration stories that would make Pence look good in the event of a presidential run.[71]Mike Pence at the 500 Festival Parade in Indianapolis, 2015
It was especially surprising coming from Pence because of his history in radio, and his former role as a media advocate in Congress, when he supported shield laws protecting confidentiality of media sources, and opposed the Fairness Doctrine, which would have given the government more control over political speech.[72] The Atlantic regarded the announcement of JustIN as evidence of a disturbing changing trend in how the public gets news.[70] After a week or so of controversy about the idea, Pence scrapped the idea saying, "However well intentioned, after thorough review of the preliminary planning and careful consideration of the concerns expressed, I am writing you to inform you that I have made a decision to terminate development of the JustIN website immediately."[73]
Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Main article: Indiana SB 101On March 26, 2015, Pence signed Indiana Senate Bill 101, also known as the Indiana "religious objections" bill (RFRA), into law.[74] The law's signing was met with widespread criticism by people and groups who felt the law was carefully worded in a way that would permit discrimination against LGBT persons.[75][76][77][78] Such organizations as the NCAA, the gamer convention Gen Con, and the Disciples of Christ spoke out against the law. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff condemned the law, with Salesforce.com saying it would halt its plans to expand in the state.[79][80] Angie's List announced that they would cancel a $40 million expansion of their Indianapolis based headquarters due to concerns over the law. The expansion would have moved 1000 jobs into the state. The mayors of San Francisco and Seattle banned official travel to Indiana.[81] Thousands protested against the policy.[75] Five GOP state representatives voted against the bill, and Greg Ballard, the Republican mayor of Indianapolis, criticized it as sending the "wrong signal" about the state.[82]
Pence repeatedly defended the law, stating that it was not about discrimination. In an appearance on the ABC News program This Week with George Stephanopoulos,[83] Pence stated, "We are not going to change this law", while refusing to answer whether examples of discrimination against LGBT people given by Eric Miller of anti-LGBT group Advance America would be legal under the law.[84] Pence denied the law permitted discrimination and wrote in a March 31, 2015 Wall Street Journal op-ed, "If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn't eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it."[85]
In the wake of the backlash against the RFRA, on April 2, 2015, Pence signed legislation revising the law to prevent potential discrimination.[86] Discrimination against LGBT individuals in employment, housing, and public accommodation remains legal, an issue that will be debated in the 2016 legislative session, and Pence has yet to endorse a proposed bill.[87]
Wikinews has related news: Indiana Governor signs needle exchange program Syrian refugees
As of March 2016, Pence has attempted unsuccessfully to prevent Syrian refugees from being resettled in Indiana.[88]
2016 re-election campaign
Main article: Indiana gubernatorial election, 2016Pence is running for a second term as governor. He was unopposed in the May 3, 2016 Republican primary for governor. He faces Democrat John Gregg, former Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives, in a rematch of the 2012 race.
According to multiple sources, as of early July 2016 Pence was one of several candidates being vetted by the Donald Trump presidential campaign to join the ticket as the Republican nominee for Vice President, and, on July 12, 2016, evidently was among Trump's top three choices.[6] If Pence were picked for that position, he would be barred by Indiana law for running for another position (in this case, for governor) on the November ballot. Pence would be replaced by a selection made by the Indiana Republican State Central Committee. Indiana law mandates that candidate vacancies must be filled by July 15.[89] He is one of the two finalists on Donald Trump's VP shortlist. The other is Newt Gingrich. Early reports on July 14 suggest Pence is likely to be announced as the VP candidate on July 15.[90]
Vice Presidential consideration
The Donald Trump campaign is considering Pence to be the Vice Presidential running mate along with other finalists, Governor Chris Christie and former Speaker Newt Gingrich. The Indianapolis Star reported July 14 that he will end his re-election campaign and accept the Republican Vice Presidential nomination.[91] This was widely reported on 14 July 2016. The formal announcement will be made on July 15, 2016 at 11 a.m.[92]
Personal life
Pence and his wife Karen Pence, have been married since 1985. They have three children: Michael, Charlotte, and Audrey. Pence is a Christian. During his service in the U.S. House, the Pence family lived in Arlington, Virginia when Congress was in session.[citation needed]Pence, and his wife, Karen, speaking at CPAC 2015 in Washington, DC.
