It was at a church service where Mike met the love of his life, Karen.

They married and have three children, Michael, Sharpe, and Audrey.

I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican in that order.

Mike became the president of a free market think tech,

the host of a statewide conservative radio show, and then a congressman.

In Washington, Mike quickly became known as a foremost defender of freedom.

He led conservatives in the fight to protect our time-honored values of family, faith, life, liberty, and limited government.

Our nation's strength begins at home because strong families make a strong America.

Mike earned the trust of the people of his state and became the 50th governor of Indiana.

He delivered the largest state tax cut in Indiana history, expanded school choice, led the country in manufacturing, and helped more hosiers get to work than ever before.

But he wasn't true.

ABC News has learned that Donald Trump will choose Indiana governor Mike Pence to be his running mate.

I would like to introduce a man who I truly believe will be the next vice president of the United States, governor Mike Pence.

As our vice president, Mike Pence has held tightly to those threats of freedom woven through our history, leading with those principles alongside President Trump.

Our nation experienced prosperity like never before.

He is solid as a rock. He's been a fantastic vice president.

And now, in these uncertain days, we are equipped to overcome.

In times of trouble, some call to retreat from those ideals.

But Americans throughout history have lifted them in triumph, hope, and resilience.

Mike Pence knows those stars and stripes do not merely represent who we are, but more importantly, what we can be.

As the sun rises again on America, we lift our eyes to those lofty truths, to guide our country and every one of us to greater heights, in this land of the free and home of the brave.

Vice President Mike Pence.
