Gregory Joseph Pence (born November 14, 1956) is an American businessman and politician. He is the U.S. Representative for Indiana's 6th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He is the older brother of U.S. Vice President Mike Pence.

Early life

Born in Columbus, Indiana on November 14, 1956,[1] Pence is the oldest of six children born to his parents, Nancy and Ed.[2][2] According to his mother, Pence and his three brothers rode wagons in a 1964 campaign parade for Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.[3] Pence earned a B.A. in theology and philosophy and a Master of Business Administration in 1983 from Loyola University Chicago.[4][5] He earned a commission in the Marines in 1979 after receiving his undergraduate degree and served for five and a half years, rising to the rank of first lieutenant.[6][5] In 1983, his battalion was stationed in Beirut, and had shipped out shortly before the bombings there.[7]

Business career

Pence owns and operates antique malls in southern Indiana.

After being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps, Pence joined Kiel Brothers Oil Company in 1988, after his father died, and served as its president from 1998 to 2004.

After his departure, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2004.[6] Through the company, he had also run a chain of gas stations and convenience stores.[11][12] According to some reports, the cleanup from the defunct business sites has allegedly cost Indiana at least $21 million.[8] Pence had previously worked for Marathon Oil and Unocal. In 1999, he was elected to the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp and its subsidiary Home Federal Savings Bank.[5][15]

Political life

{{See also|Indiana's 6th congressional district|United States House of Representatives elections in Indiana, 2018#District 6}}

Pence was the finance chairman in U.S. House representative Luke Messer's 2018 campaign for the U.S. Senate.[9] In October 2017, Pence launched his own campaign for the position Messer was leaving.[10] On May 8, 2018, Pence won the Republican nomination for the U.S. House seat his brother Mike had held for twelve years. With Pence raising and spending about a million dollars as of mid-April and his closest Republican challenger loaning himself about three quarters of that amount, it made the "race the most expensive in the state." Pence faced Democrat Jeannine Lake in the November general election and won with over a 30 percent margin.[11]

Personal life

Pence and his wife, Denise, own two antique malls.[13] Together they have four children – Nicole, Lauren, Emily, and John – and six grandchildren.[14]

Denise was a delegate for Indiana at the 2016 Republican National Convention and cast a vote there for Donald Trump and Mike Pence to be the party's nominees.[15] Pence and his family were in attendance at the Inauguration of Donald Trump, situated several rows behind the incoming president. Their oldest daughter, Nicole, was a TV anchor in Indianapolis and their son, John, was working for the Trump 2020 Campaign as of February 2018.[16][17]
