As Indiana governor, Pence pushed for the kind of tax cuts favored by the network. But according to two Republican consultants close to the network, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal politics, whether Pence will be the Koch candidate remains an open question. Pence has a relationship with the group that spans more than a decade.
