As he runs for his state’s open Senate seat, GOP Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana landed a big-name endorsement from a newly elected Republican in neighboring Ohio -- JD Vance
on Tuesday highlighted that"we need more leadership in Washington like Jim Banks," as he backed the conservative congressman from northeast Indiana in an endorsement statement shared first nationally with Fox News.
Banks, a 43-year-old former state senator and a veteran of the Afghanistan war who is in his fourth term representing a district in northeast Indiana, two-weeks ago formally launched his candidacy for the Senate in a 2024 run to succeed GOP Sen. Mike Braun, who in December announced that he’s bidding for governor of the Hoosier State rather than seek re-election.
"Jim puts the interests of our own country first, like working to secure our border from illegal immigration and illicit drugs and fentanyl, standing up against Big Tech censorship and fighting for America First trade policies that support working families with job creation right here at home," Vance, who in November topped longtime Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan by six points to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman, said.
