Pence congratulated the organization on 40 years of work, and promised them that “you have an unwavering ally in President Donald Trump.”

“He was excited that I was coming here today and wanted me to give you all his thanks and regards,” Pence added to applause.

Pence called Focus on the Family a “cornerstone of American life for so many Americans” and called its founder, James Dobson, on whose radio program he appeared during the presidential campaign, a “friend and mentor to me.”
