A 2017 Washington Post profile of Karen Pence brought renewed attention to the so-called Billy Graham rule — named for its best-known practitioner — and its various iterations.

Other evangelical men do not meet alone with women to whom they are not married under any circumstances. The latest high-profile practitioner is Mississippi state Rep. Robert Foster (R-Hernando), who declined to allow Mississippi Today reporter Larrison Campbell to shadow him for a day for a piece on his gubernatorial campaign unless she was accompanied by one of her male colleagues.
