DES MOINES, Iowa—Former Vice President Mike Pence took the stage at a town hall meeting on June 7 to define himself as a principled leader who has the experience and character to dig the country out of domestic difficulties and reestablish it as the champion of freedom on the world stage.

The candidate, standing at center stage, outlined mostly unsurprising Republican positions on a range of domestic and international issues, and responded to questions from moderator Dana Bash of CNN and members of the audience.
