Pence says voters need to get to know him better, despite many years in politics

EXCLUSIVE: Former Vice President Mike Pence says he is “well known," but “not known well,"  telling Fox News Digital this week that he is taking to the campaign trail in the hopes that GOP voters see him “in a fresh light."

Pence said most Americans know him as "Vice President Mike Pence."

"But they don’t know that I was a leading House conservative for 12 years; that I’ve battled the big spenders in our own party; that, when I led the Republican Study Committee I actually led the fight against the Wall Street bailout back in 2008," he said. "They don’t know that I was a conservative governor that battled leaders in my own party to pass the largest tax cut in Indiana history and expand the nation’s largest school choice program and achieved record employment before being elected vice president."
