Whether your reaction to the news was "Mike Who?" or you just need a refresher on his two-plus decades in politics, here's what you should know about the 50th governor of Indiana.


1. He says he's "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order."

Pence has long said his approach to governing is informed not by party, but by his faith and his love of the Constitution.


He's staunchly opposed to abortion, and while in Congress he led the federal government to the brink of shutdown in 2011 in a failed attempt to de-fund Planned Parenthood.

A born-again evangelical Christian, Pence has also been a strong proponent of religious freedom and believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.



2. He was raised Catholic and idolized JFK

Pence and his five siblings grew up in Columbus, Ind., in a family of devout Catholic churchgoers. His parents weren't especially political, he told The Indianapolis Star in a 2012 profile, but as a young man, figures like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. inspired him to get involved in politics..................
