| Greg Pence was sworn into office in the United States House of Representatives serving Indiana's Sixth Congressional District on January 3, 2019, after a distinguished career in the private sector.
A proud husband, father, grandfather, Marine officer, and small businessman the Congressman is committed to ensuring Indiana's 6th District continues its strong tradition of leadership in Congress.
Joining the Marine Corps in 1979 in his hometown of Columbus, Pence considers his role in Congress as an opportunity to serve the community, state, and country that he loves. The Congressman understands that the 6th District needs a leader who will prioritize constituents and ensure Hoosiers always have a seat at the table.
Congressman Pence earned a Bachelor of Arts in theology and philosophy and a Master of Business Administration in 1983 from Loyola University Chicago. He earned a commission in the Marines in 1981 after receiving his undergraduate degree and served for five and a half years, rising to the rank of first lieutenant. In 1983, his battalion was stationed in Beirut, Lebanon.
After being honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps, the Congressman followed in his father's footsteps in pursuing his passion for the energy distribution industry. Congressman Pence worked at Kiel Brothers Oil Company, Marathon Oil Corporation, Unocal Corporation and Circle K Stores, Inc.
Congressman Pence currently serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, including assignments on the Subcommittee on Energy and Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce. In addition to the Congressman's committee appointments, he also serves as a part of the GOP leadership's "WHIP Team" headed up by the Republican Whip Steve Scalise to confer with House Republican colleagues on key pieces of legislation.
The Congressman's priorities include limited government, fiscal responsibility, economic development, domestic energy production - and most importantly, the protection of conservative Hoosier values in Washington.
When the Congressman isn't spending time with his family or fighting for Hoosier values, he also enjoys hunting and fishing across the abundant scenery Indiana has to offer. The Pences are active members of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church in Columbus. The Congressman currently serves on the Board of Advisors for IUPUC and is a former Chairman of the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce.
Congressman Greg Pence is a native of Columbus, Indiana where he lives in the same home that he and his wife, Denise, raised their four children - Nicole, Lauren, Emily and John. They have nine grandchildren. |
