The Economic Club of Washington, D.C. is pleased to announce that David Rubenstein will interview The Honorable Mike Pence, Founder, Advancing American Freedom and author of the recently published book, What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience. The dinner will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The reception will begin at 6:00 p.m., followed by the dinner and program at 7:00 p.m., ending promptly at 9:00 p.m.
As the country celebrates its 250th anniversary, former Vice President Mike Pence explains in his new book, What Conservatives Believe, why the GOP must choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism. Drawing on his experiences during the first Trump administration and analyzing the current administration, Vice President Pence emphasizes the need for Republicans to examine where the Party stands today and where it must go to deal with the challenges of tomorrow. He also reflects on the changes that have occurred on both sides of the aisle in recent years, and how that might affect the next several election cycles.
The Honorable Mike Pence served as the 48th Vice President of the United States, the 50th Governor of Indiana and Representative of Indiana's East-Central district in the U.S. House of Representatives for six terms, rising to chair the House Republican Conference. He is the founder of Advancing American Freedom, a conservative policy and advocacy organization centered on free-market economics, limited government, and constitutional principles.
