Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Sept. 6 rallies for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a stop at the Springfield Expo Center. Speaking to a crowd of around 1,000, the candidate for U.S. vice president addressed topics including national security, limited government, gun ownership and anti-abortion rights, and a freeze on new federal regulations. Pence, who was joined by Republican Missouri gubernatorial candidate Eric Greitens and Congressman Billy Long, R-Mo., said Trump would work to take down the Affordable Care Act, which he said has increased costs of health care.
