Indiana's Sixth District Congressman Mike Pence has been named Man of the Year by the magazine Human Events.

In making the selection the magazine said, "It has been Pence and his roughly 100 colleagues in the House Republican Study Committee (which Pence helped organize and leads) who have almost single-handedly stopped the chronic GOP overspending of the past five years and forced the first full-fledged budget-cutting bill since 1997."

In the article announcing the award, Pence described himself as "an unregenerate supply-sider" and "Rush Limbaugh on decaf."

Pence said, "Ronald Reagan got me into politics. He is my role model."

Human Events named Reagan Man of the Century in 2000.

Other annual winners of the award have included President Ronald Reagan, Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas, President George W. Bush, Attorney General John Ashcroft and the 2004 Swift Boat veteran John O'Neil.
