Gary Bauer: Mike Pence a ‘Ronald Reagan Conservative and Consistent Champion for Values Voters’

WASHINGTON, D.C. /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, chairman of the Campaign for Working Families, praised the Vice Presidential pick of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, calling Indiana Governor Mike Pence a “Ronald Reagan conservative and a consistent champion for the values and economic concerns of those who live and work on Main Street USA, without whom America cannot succeed.”

Bauer continued: “I have known Governor Pence for many years, even before he entered Congress. His whole life has been guided by the same principles that motivated Ronald Reagan.  He sees in Donald Trump the populist tidal wave that has dominated the country as Americans have joined together to voice their concerns about a bloated, broken government that has lost its way.

“Mike Pence knows the struggles of working class Americans in the Rust Belt. While some have benefitted from big trade deals, America’s industrial base has been gutted and too many workers have been left behind. The Trump/Pence ticket will create jobs, put Americans back to work and make America great again!

“Mike and Karen Pence have a strong, deep and abiding commitment to faith and family. I am especially glad that Mike Pence will be in the Oval Office offering wise counsel when it comes to the next justices for the Supreme Court who will shape this country for generations to come.”

Bauer made the importance of the Supreme Court the centerpiece of his run for the presidency in 2000, challenging the other candidates – including George W. Bush – to nominate Justices like Antonin Scalia. Bauer also headed the Citizens Committee to Confirm Clarence Thomas during that contentious nomination battle.
