A new super PAC formed to support former Vice President Mike Pence’s all-but-certain 2024 White House campaign launched on Tuesday, with a mission to “reintroduce” the former vice president “as his own man.”
And the establishment of the super PAC, titled Committed to America, is the clearest signal to date that Pence is likely just a couple of weeks away from declaring his candidacy for president and jumping into an increasingly crowded GOP nomination race. News of the super PAC’s formation was shared first with Fox News and roughly a dozen other news organizations.
“People know Mike Pence, they just don’t know him well,” veteran Republican political consultant Scott Reed said. Reed will serve as co-chair of the newly formed super PAC.
And the job of the new super PAC is to make sure Americans get to know well the person who served four years as then-President Donald Trump’s loyal vice president, according to Reed, who managed GOP presidential nominee Sen. Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign and who directed political operations at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for more than a decade.

“This campaign is going to reintroduce Mike Pence to the country as his own man, not as vice president but as a true economic, social and national security conservative – a Reagan conservative,” Reed said.
Reed will be joined as a co-chair by former Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, who represented parts of Dallas and surrounding suburbs for 16 years and chaired the conservative House Republican Conference. Hensarling was one of Pence’s closest allies during their tenure together on Capitol Hill.
