Pence Honored for Public Service | Spokane News

Former VP Mike Pence is set to receive the prestigious 2026 Thomas S. Foley Award for Distinguished Public Service from Washington State University, honoring his enduring impact on policy and unwavering commitment to democratic values. The award, given since 1995 by the Foley Institute, celebrates leaders who exemplify integrity and civil discourse — qualities the institute’s director, Cornell Clayton, specifically praised in Pence’s case, especially his courageous stand during the 2020 election certification. Pence, now active through his think tank Advancing American Freedom, will deliver a keynote at the September 10 ceremony in Spokane, with proceeds from tickets funding the institute’s mission.
