Get StartedDrop all federal legal support for abortion in the states: On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Since that historic win for the rights of unborn children, numerous states have exercised their constitutional authority to limit access to abortive procedures that kill unborn babies. Those states are now facing costly and unnecessary legal challenges meant to expand abortion. The Department of Justice under President Biden has established a ''Reproductive Rights Task Force'' for the purpose of assisting those suing states. That task force will be immediately eliminated and efforts to fight state limits on abortion will be abandoned. Learn more
Repeal Executive Orders that require the government to provide abortive services: The Biden Administration has used executive fiat to encourage abortion and funnel taxpayer money to organizations that end the lives of unborn babies. Any executive actions taken under President Biden to promote abortion through the Department of Health and Human Services will be immediately repealed in keeping with the intent of Congress. Learn more
Appoint the most conservative cabinet and judiciary ever assembled: As President Pence assembles his cabinet, he will make it his top priority to promote only individuals who oppose abortion and child sexual reassignment. Learn more
Mike Pence supports using every tool available to protect our Nation’s children. The fight to restore and protect the right to life did not end when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Mike Pence will work with Congress to pass a 15-week abortion ban to protect unborn children nationwide. This minimum standard is essential to ensure that the lives of unborn children are protected in every state. President Pence will also support the adoption of a constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to life in our Nation’s Constitution. Learn more
Defund district attorneys who put criminals back on the streets: Liberals in major American cities have been working for years to install progressive district attorneys who have abolished cash bail and immediately return violent criminals to the streets. As a result of these efforts, crime has surged in our country’s largest cities. By ordering the Department of Justice to block federal funding for district attorneys who let violent criminals back on the streets, President Pence will begin to reverse these devastating policies and restore law and order in our most vulnerable communities.

Help Taiwan prepare its national defenses. We must help our allies in Taiwan bolster their defense capabilities, including transferring strategic weapons technology, assist Taiwan with developing its own resident cyber offense and defense capabilities, providing F-16s for sale, and conducting joint training, as examples. A policy of strategic ambiguity is useless if Taiwan cannot defend itself. Learn more
End wasteful and woke military programs at the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense should not be a testing ground for liberal social experiments or non-mission spending. The Biden Administration’s focus on providing abortions, transgender surgeries, and inclusion training drains scarce DoD resources and takes away from defending our country. These programs should end. Learn more
Stop the flow of fentanyl from China. The United States must go straight to the source and actively interdict the flow of fentanyl from China into the Western Hemisphere. Until we destroy the fentanyl supply chain, more American lives will be lost every day. Over 100,000 Americans died in 2021 alone. President Pence will bring charges against Chinese importers and use military force to stop the flow of drugs. Learn more
End work from home for federal workers: Americans around the country have gotten back to work since the pandemic ended and are working to get this economy moving again. Meanwhile, federal employees are still working from home at record rates. According to government statistics, 47% of government employees teleworked in 2021. Federal bureaucrats should be working just as hard as the American workers they are supposedly serving. That’s why President Pence will issue an executive order to get federal employees back to work immediately. Learn more
The Pence Administration will create the conditions to bring production back to this country by removing regulatory burdens, enacting pro-growth tax policies, and ensuring access to abundant American energy. We will fight inflation by making America the best place to do business again. Learn more
As President, Mike Pence will grow the economy and rein in inflation by stopping government overspending and place America on a path to a balanced budget. The Pence Administration will also address the rising costs of healthcare and higher education which have skyrocketed as a direct result of government interference. As inflation and government spending come down, so too will expenses for American families. President Pence will work with Congress to permanently extend and expand tax cuts for middle- and low-income families with children, which are set to expire in 2025. Learn more
In order to win the future, America must have the energy capacity to independently power our economy and lead the world’s energy future. By lifting artificial government restrictions, ending preferences, and encouraging private production of every variety of American energy, President Pence will make certain America leads the world again. Learn more
Expanding the production and distribution of American energy must be a critical priority for the next President. The global demand for every kind of energy is rapidly increasing and will continue to grow for decades to come. Politicians like President Biden have purposefully blocked American energy production and put the nation’s economy and security at risk. Learn more
Block funding for schools that promote child sexual reassignment: Across the country, public schools are instituting new curricula that promote a progressive transgender agenda to children in grades as low as kindergarten. Often, these lessons are carried out without the consent of parents and administered by teachers who actively encourage students to change their natural born gender. Schools should be a place where children can learn without fear of being subject to oversexualized liberal indoctrination. The Department of Education will issue guidance opposing transgender curricula and begin the process of blocking federal funding for districts that promote transgender education in elementary school. Learn more
President Pence will work with Congress to eliminate the unnecessary Department of Education and return that funding and decision-making back to parents. The $84 billion currently spent by bureaucrats will be returned to states with the one restriction that states taking federal dollars must grant children the flexibility to use their tax dollars at the school of their choice – public or parochial. Learn more
Once elected, President Pence will implement a comprehensive plan for an energy future without burdensome federal restrictions, without preferences for certain types of energy, and without delay. We will become the world’s number one energy producer again by implementing the following policies. Learn more
First and foremost, energy of all varieties is an abundant natural resource in the United States. The extraction, production, transportation, and delivery of energy is an economic opportunity that can transform lives and communities here at home. By creating the conditions for long-term energy development, President Pence’s policy will spur job growth and fight inflation with lower energy prices. Learn more
President Pence will set a clear goal of overtaking China as the world’s number one energy producer. By 2040, the United States can meet the energy demands of our own country while becoming the world’s top supplier of energy. Learn more
Through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the federal government operates over one dozen programs that provides rental and housing assistance to individuals. Like welfare programs, these federally centered housing plans have resulted in a housing policy that keeps people in poverty. Even worse, evidence has shown that HUD policies have, in some cases, encouraged segregation. Rental assistance programs should not be controlled by bureaucrats in Washington. These programs need to be reformed to ensure that states and localities with direct knowledge of their communities are in charge of assistance. President Pence will work to make sure that happens. Learn more
Instruct federal agencies to immediately restart border wall construction: In 2021, President Biden unilaterally ordered the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to cease construction of border protection barriers and cancel contracts for construction of a border wall. This politically motivated decision denied funding to secure our border that had been legally appropriated by Congress. President Pence will immediately restart construction of protective barriers in order to secure our southern border. Learn more
Invest in long-term defense industry infrastructure. As American manufacturing has uprooted over the years and moved abroad, so too has our defense industrial base – leaving us vulnerable to just-in-time overseas manufacturing that could suffer disruptions at critical moments. The Pence Administration will use additional defense resources to ensure our infrastructure can scale to meet all coming challenges. Learn more
