JIM BANKS EYES INDIANA SENATE SEAT<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have one of the most fiscally conservative voting records in the entire House of Representatives, and after some Republican senators went along with Democrats to pass a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill, it&#8217;s clear that we need people to fight back against that in the Senate more than ever before,\u201d In an interview, he stated these words. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need conservative senators who are going to fight back against radical Democrats instead of playing footsie with them, and that&#8217;s the type of leadership I provide in the House, but I can do even more in the Senate,\u201d He concluded. <\/p>\n<p>Banks, a veteran of 43 years with three daughters and a wife, stated that he would like the Senate to have a younger senator. J.D. Vance (R.OH), arguing that a new generation of conservative leaders is required. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s time for a new generation of conservatives to step up and serve in the United States Senate. I think America is hungry for that, Indiana&#8217;s hungry for that, and Indiana deserves a conservative senator,\u201d He said. \u201cI want to be a Tom Cotton-type conservative in the Senate \u2014 I respect him greatly.\u201c <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I respect Ted Cruz and a lot of senators like him.&#8221; [R-TX]. I\u2019m excited about J.D. Vance \u2014 he&#8217;s a great friend,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Banks indicated that he believes he is able to make an even greater impact in the upper house, although he was a significant part of the party&#8217;s message and advancement of issues important for conservatives in Congress. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it&#8217;s important to note that Indiana is a very conservative state, so to have a bigger platform in the United States Senate to work on issues like saving girls&#8217; sports, the importance of pro-life issues that I care about, a strong national defense, national security issues, a bigger opportunity to fight for our troops in a meaningful way, to fight back against wokeism in our schools, securing the border, and passing pro-American immigration policies,\u201d He said, &#8220;those are all issues that the Senate provides a bigger platform to do even more than what I&#8217;ve been able to do in the House, so that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m drawn to it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m young, I can do it a while \u2014 long enough to build up seniority in the Senate to do more for Indiana \u2014 and I&#8217;ve learned a lot over the last six years in the House,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Banks already has significant support, including endorsements by Cotton and Rep. Larry Bucshon. <\/p>\n<p>The Indiana Republican stated that he had reached out to Trump to inform him about his plans to run for the seat and hopes he will support him in the race. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him I\u2019m running, and I told him I\u2019d be really proud to have his support if he\u2019d give it to me,\u201d He stated. <\/p>\n<p>As the state&#8217;s GOP Governor. Eric Holcomb, Rep. Victoria Spartz\u00a0(R-IN), and ex-GOP Gov. Mitch Daniels and Eric Holcomb have expressed interest in the seat.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] Rep.
