James Edward Banks (born July 16, 1979) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Indiana's 3rd congressional district since 2017. A Republican, he previously served as a member of the Indiana Senate from 2010 to 2016.
Early life and career
Jim Banks was born in Columbia City, Indiana.
Early career
He worked in the real estate and construction industry in Fort Wayne, Indiana prior to his role in elected office.[1] Banks serves in the United States Navy Reserve as a Supply Corps officer. From 2014 to 2015, he took a leave of absence from the Indiana State Senate to serve in Afghanistan.[1]
From 2008 to 2010, Banks served on the Whitley County Council from the at-large district.[2] He won the primary after defeating incumbent County Councilman, Scott Darley.[3] He was succeeded by Paula Reimers on the County Council.[4] Banks also served as Chair of the Whitley County Republican Party from 2007-2011.[5] He was succeeded by Matt Boyd as Party Chair.[6] With assistance from the American Legislative Exchange Council, he has supported right-to-work legislation in Indiana.[7] Banks addressed the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference in 2014 after he was selected as one of their Top 10 Conservatives Under 40.[8]
Banks was first elected to serve in the state senate for the 17th district in 2010, and upon military deployment to Afghanistan, he took a leave of absence from the state senate in September 2014.[9] Invoking an Indiana state law which allows state and local officeholders to take leaves of absence during active duty military service, Banks was temporarily replaced by his wife, Amanda Banks, who held the office for the senate's 2015 legislative session.[10][11] He returned to Indiana from overseas duty on April 14, 2015[12] and resumed his duties as state senator on May 8, 2015.[13]
U.S. House of Representatives
Elections
- 2016
On May 12, 2015, Banks announced his intention to run. The incumbent, Congressman Marlin Stutzman announced he would not run for reelection and would instead campaign for the Republican nomination to succeed retiring Indiana Senator Dan Coats.[14] Banks' congressional campaign was endorsed by the Club for Growth.[15]
Banks won the primary election, separating himself from five other like-minded conservative opponents for the open seat, with 34 percent of the vote. Spending in the campaign exceeded $2 million as Banks raised $850,000 prior to the primary election and the candidate who finished in second place, businessman Kip Tom, raised $950,000 including $150,000 he loaded from his personal funds. [16]
- 2018
Banks ran for reelection; he was unopposed in the Republican primary and faced off against businesswoman and Democratic nominee Courtney Tritch in the 2018 general election.[17] Banks won reelection with 64.7% of the vote.
- 2020
Banks ran for a third term and defeated physician Chris Magiera[18] in the Republican primary.[19] He then faced off against teacher and Democratic nominee Chip Coldiron in the 2020 general election.[20] Banks won reelection with 67.8% of the vote.[21]
Tenure
Banks was sworn in on January 3, 2017. He is a member of the Republican Study Committee.
In December 2017, Banks joined three other Republican representatives, Ron DeSantis, Scott Perry, and Robert Pittenger, in co-signing a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson requesting Tillerson to release a classified counterterrorism agreement with Qatar.[22]
In January 2020, Banks faced backlash after saying that remarks by Representative Ilhan Omar about her own experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder were "offensive to our nation’s veterans." As a child, Omar fled civil war in Somalia and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp.[23]
After Joe Biden won the 2020 election and Donald Trump refused to concede while making false claims of fraud, Banks was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives who signed an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case.[24][25][26] Banks later objected to the certification of the election results.[27]
After the January 6th 2021 United States Capitol attack, Banks expressed support for a bipartisan commission to investigate the riot. He later changed his mind.[28] On July 21, 2021, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vetoed Kevin McCarthy's assigning of Banks and Jim Jordan to the January 6 Select Committee, citing how both of them amplified Trump's false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.[29] Banks subsequently claimed that Pelosi was at fault for the January 6th insurrection and that she was using the commission to cover up her role.[30]
In late February 2021, Banks and a dozen other Republican House members skipped votes and enlisted others to vote for them, citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, he and the other members were actually attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, which was held at the same time as their slated absences.[31] In response, the Campaign for Accountability, an ethics watchdog group, filed a complaint with the House Committee on Ethics and requested an investigation into Banks and the other lawmakers.[32]
In October 2021, fellow Republican Liz Cheney, vice chair of the January 6 Select Committee, revealed that Banks had been sending letters to federal agencies, claiming to be the ranking member of that committee, even though he had been rejected from the committee.[33] In one September 2021 letter, Banks requested for the Department of the Interior to provide him with information that they had sent the committee. He also wrote that "Pelosi refused to allow me to fulfill my duties as Ranking Member", then later signed off the letter as "Ranking Member", which he was not.[34][35]
Also in October 2021, when Rachel Levine, who is transgender, became an admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Banks commented in his official Twitter account: "The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man." Twitter, which prohibits "targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals", suspended his official account in response.[36]

Political positions
Health care
Banks supported repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare").[40] Banks voted in favor of the American Health Care Act of 2017 on May 4, 2017.[41] He opposes single-payer healthcare, which he claims if implemented would cost taxpayers $32 trillion.[42]
Economy
In December 2017, Banks voted in favor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.[43] Upon the passing of the bill, Banks said it was "a good day for the future of the American dream."[44]
In 2020, Banks voted against COVID-19 economic relief, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.[45] In 2021, he voted against COVID-19 economic stimulus a second time.[46][47]
Environment
In October 2016, Banks said, "I believe that climate change in this country is largely leftist propaganda to change the way Americans live and create more government obstruction and intrusion in our lives."[48][49]
Technology
Banks supports allowing internet companies to release customer information to the federal government.[40]
Abortion
Banks opposes federal funding of abortions, as well as Planned Parenthood.[40]
LGBT rights
Banks opposes same-sex marriage.[50][51]
Banks describes banning transgender people from serving in the military as an "emotional issue."[clarification needed] He opposes the military paying for sex reassignment surgery, saying that "I don't think taxpayers should be on the hook for that."[42]
