Here is a backgrounder on Mike Pence from someone who knows him personally. Rebecca Hagelin's writes regularly in Townhall and is a conservative Christian. She knows him from his work in Congress about which she says:
"But I am clear about the the Mike Pence that I came to know personally from my work in Washington, DC. As a Congressman, he stood firm for the rights of the preborn, small business, and the biblical definition of marriage. He fought against government healthcare and federal control of education. He was a champion of economic freedom, limited government and a strong national defense. He was, and is, inspirational and visionary, and incredibly skillful at fighting the liberal machine and bureaucracy."
And she knows him personally by living in his neighborhood:
"I often saw Mike and his wonderful wife, Karen, strolling hand-in-hand as they went for evening walks through our neighborhood. He was a "regular guy," who always made time to strengthen his family amidst the busyness of life. His was, and is, a calling to fight for the policies that will strengthen all families. And fight he does. His record is sterling, both as a national leader, a neighbor, and a family man."
Hagelin was a Cruz supporter and sorely disappointed when he lost. She has criticized Trump on numerous occasions but the selection of Mike Pence has changed her mind, especially considering the alternative, and she now supports the ticket. In closing she notes:
"Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and the Democratic Party seek to destroy the very freedoms and rich Judeo Christian principles upon which our nation thrives. Now that Donald Trump has chosen Mike Pence, we have a ticket that offers hope for the restoration of this precious gift from God called, "America". For me, the choice is now clear."
