About the book:

At a pivotal moment in American political life — as the Republican Party begins to debate its post-Trump future — former Vice President Mike Pence steps forward with a clear, candid, and deeply personal argument for what conservatism actually means, and why it matters now more than ever.

What Conservatives Believe is modeled on Barry Goldwater's landmark The Conscience of a Conservative, updated for the challenges and crossroads of the 21st century. Drawing on decades as a self-described "happy warrior" in the conservative movement, Pence makes the case that enduring principles must not be sacrificed to the temptations of right-wing populism — or any other political moment.

The book lays out conservative positions on a sweeping range of issues: the right to life, limited government, economic freedom, law and order, the national debt, federalism, patriotic education, the traditional family, peace through strength, and America's relationship with Israel, among many others. Pence grounds each argument in the conviction that our rights come not from government, but from God.

Perhaps most remarkably, What Conservatives Believe is a book of candor. Pence directly addresses his former partner President Trump, offering pointed criticism of moments when the administration departed from conservative governing principles — and stands firmly by his decision to refuse Trump's demands on January 6, 2021.

At its heart, this is a book about character, civility, and statesmanship — virtues Pence believes are inseparable from conservatism itself. As he has long said, "I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it."
