Who is Greg Pence?

Greg Pence, 66, first took the Indiana congressional seat on January 3, 2019, in a landslide election.

His father, Edward, was asked to join a family business called the Kiel Brothers, which sold fuel to service stations in 1965.

When their father died, Pence was asked to take his father’s place in the company that had grown to have 200 locations across the US.

He agreed to join the company in 1988 and, ten years later, he had risen to president of the company.

A year after that, he was placed on the Home Federal’s board of directors.

Pence signed an agreement in 2001 that he would repay outstanding debts from his personal assets if it was required at any time.

It took only three years before the need arose when the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and was facing $100million in claims from creditors, reported.

Pence resigned from the board when he couldn’t come up with the funds needed.

While running for Congress in 2018, campaign officials told the Times, “Mr. Pence chose to resign in order to pursue other opportunities.

“Everyone knows the oil and gas industry changed rapidly in the 1990s and early 2000s, and many small, independent companies like Kiel Brothers were not able to survive because of the national consolidation.”

A former Marine Corps officer, Pence says he now looks at his position in Congress as an opportunity to “strengthen the middle class, help create jobs, and support pro-growth policies for small businesses,” according to his .
