Trump/Pence Ticket!
ARRA News Servce: This morning, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced on Twitter that Indiana Governor Mike Pence will serve as his vice presidential running mate.
I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 15, 2016Indiana Governor Mike Pence responded on Twitter:
Michael Richard "Mike" Pence (born June 7, 1959) is an American politician and attorney who has been serving as the 50th Governor of Indiana since 2013. A member of the Republican Party, he previously represented Indiana's 2nd congressional district and Indiana's 6th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2001 to 2013 and served as Chairman of the House Republican Conference from 2009 to 2011. Pence is a conservative and a longtime supporter of the Tea Party movement.
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. His family were Irish Catholic Democrats. His maternal grandparents were immigrants from County Sligo and County Clare.
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.
After graduating from Hanover, Pence worked as an admissions counselor at the college from 1981 to 1983. After graduating from law school in 1986, Pence worked as an attorney in private practice. 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.
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. Pence called himself "Rush Limbaugh on decaf" since he considered himself politically conservative while not as outspoken as Limbaugh. 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. From 1995 to 1999, Pence also hosted a weekend political talk show out of Indianapolis.
In November 2000, Pence was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana's 2nd Congressional District. 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.
After the November 2010 election, Pence announced that he would not run for re-election as the Republican Conference Chairman. On May 5, 2011, Pence announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for Governor of Indiana in 2012.
Pence and his wife Karen Pence have been married since 1985. They have three children: Michael, Charlotte, and Audrey. [Info credit Wikipedia]
Pence For Vice President
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author noted today: In the wake of the Nice attack, Donald Trump wisely postponed the formal announcement of his choice for vice president. But official word came from the Trump campaign this morning that his running mate would be Indiana Governor Mike Pence.
The initial reaction to Trump's selection has been very positive. Consider these headlines:
"Movement Conservatives Praise Mike Pence As VP, 'Home Run Choice'"
"Pence Brings Conservative Bona Fides To Trump."
"Conservatives Rally Around Mike Pence For Vice President"
Every values voter, every pro-life voter, every man and woman who knows the United States and Israel must stand together should be applauding this choice, and that includes some of my fellow pro-family leaders here in Washington, D.C. For those who may not be familiar with Governor Pence, you can read more about him in this IndyStar article.
In addition to all the negative things that happen as you grow older, one of the positives is that you gain a little wisdom.
To my younger colleagues, I'll offer this advice for free: With the country tottering on the edge of an abyss, it is not a good idea to form circular firing squads, obsessing over disappointments with people on your team.
We have a man in the Oval Office, and a woman who wants to replace him, who, if they are successful, will eliminate the First and Second Amendment. They stand against everything we stand for.
In addition to filling Justice Antonin Scalia's vacancy on the Supreme Court, three more justices are 77 years old or older.
We have a chance on November 8th -- quite probably our last chance -- to stop the left's fundamental transformation of the country we love. We have a chance to make America great again -- if we are united and working together. It is time to close ranks.
