Club for Growth PAC Applauds Choice of Mike Pence as VP Candidate

“Mike Pence would be an outstanding Vice-President.”

Washington, DC – The Club for Growth PAC released the following statement after Indiana Governor Mike Pence was announced as the vice-presidential nominee for the Republican ticket:

“Mike Pence would be an outstanding Vice-President,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh. “I’ve been privileged to call Mike a friend for more than 20 years, and members of the Club for Growth have been cheering his principled stands for economic conservatism since he came to Congress. Mike was a leader on Capitol Hill against bailouts, Obamacare, and tax hikes. He has been a strong supporter of free trade agreements, and he stood up to his own party’s leadership against the expansion of the entitlement state.

“The Club supported Mike Pence’s nomination as Republican Conference Chairman because we knew that he would be a strong voice for free markets and economic liberty among a House leadership team that was too prone to be weak on those issues.  And today’s news gives a similar hope that Mike Pence will be  effective in pulling the Republican ticket toward economic conservatism and limited government.”

Club for Growth PAC is a political arm of the Club for Growth, a 501(c)(4).

The Club for Growth is the nation’s leading group promoting economic freedom through legislative involvement, issue advocacy, research, and education.
