ARMED FORCES SERVICE IN AMERICA
“Throughout my time at West Point and in the U.S. Army, I served with people of every faith, race, social-economic class, and creed.

CENTRAL THREAT OF OUR TIME
“The dark future of a world under a communist dictatorship, empowered by economic strength and next generation technologies, has become more and more realistic. That’s why I have repeatedly said, and much of the world is now in agreement, that the danger posed by the CCP is the central threat of our time.” – Mike Pompeo
CONSERVATIVE CAUSE
“And as conservatives, we need to communicate our belief that everyone is endowed with dignity that must be respected because we all bear the mark of our Creator. This idea is the means to bring our divided country together without hatred and without acrimony. It’s also an idea that the statists reject.” – Mike Pompeo
EDUCATION
“I know America will figure out how to handle the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping, but if we don’t confront the entities within our own country that seek to poison future generations’ love and passion for America – as well as their ability to read, write, do math, and ultimately compete in an increasingly competitive global marketplace – it won’t matter how we respond to threats abroad. If we fail to conserve and honor the American miracle at home, we will lose it.” – Mike Pompeo
“This nation [USA] is no like other: its unique, its noble and it is decent. This remains true at our founding, and it remains true today.” – Mike Pompeo
FAMILY

FOURTH OF JULY

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

LIFE AS U.S. CONGRESSMAN

Not the votes, not the time in Washington, but the time back home.” – Mike Pompeo
