PenceBlog: <i>U.S. News and World Report</i> profiles Pence - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

Rep. Pence is profiled in this week's issue of U.S. News and World Report. Danielle Knight writes that the Congressman has "emerged as a powerful force, moving Congress further to the right." Here is another excerpt from the article:

"Known as a 'conservative's conservative' on fiscal and social issues, Pence chairs an influential group of more than 110 Republican spending hawks who are winning major victories in their battle for smaller government. Under Pence, the group has broken ranks with party leadership and moderates, often clashing with President Bush.

"Conservative members love his steady leadership style and intelligent articulation of conservative values. 'He is clearly a rising star among conservatives and a man we believe will be a major influential player in the process of reforming our government in the years to come,' says Bill Lauderback, executive vice president of the American Conservative Union, which gave Pence its highest score of 100 percent for the past two years."
